As a lecturer, I took on the task to develop a series of courses, running through year 1 to year 3 of the 4-year Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree program. I developed an incremental curriculum building students' knowledge on sustainability from the ground up. I followed the methods such as providing course handouts, slides, animated videos, direct interaction, experimental learning, and class discussion to achieve my goals of efficient teaching. The course I developed, delivered, and assessed with fantastic feedback were:• Thermodynamics-I (3 CH)• Fluid Mechanics- II (3 CH)• Heat and Mass Transfer (3 CH)Along with that, I also co-supervised one group (4-students) Final-Year Bachelor's thesis where we designed and conducted a study of phase change materials-based pin-fin heat sink of various configurations based on extensive experimentation. The co-supervision yielded a successful publication as follows:1. Ashraf, M.J., Ali, H.M., Usman, H. and Arshad, A., (2017).
