AUK Awards Third Visiting Faculty Fellowship at Dartmouth
AUK President Dr. Winfred Thompson announced the recipient of the third Dartmouth-AUK Fellowship Award on January 25, 2011. Dr. Mohamad Awad, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Division of Sciences and Engineering, will take up his post at Dartmouth College during Summer 2011.
Dr. Awad will work with the Dartmouth Engineering faculty on his research project, "Practical Resource Allocation for Cooperative Wireless Networks". In cooperative networks, wireless devices (e.g., cellphones, wireless computers, relays, or sensors) cooperate to relay services such as video, voice and data to other wireless devices in poor wireless coverage areas. Cooperative networks provide a low cost and fast deployment solution for extending wireless coverage to deserts and offshore oil/gas platforms. In addition, it is all-wireless which makes it ideal for network disaster recovery. The ultimate question behind Dr. Awad's research is: Given any implementation scenario of cooperative wireless networks with largely unknown dynamics, what is the optimal resource allocation? In particular, he is interested in providing practical algorithms with strong theoretical guarantees for this research problem. This award gives Dr. Awad access to a state of the art research facility, collaboration opportunity with one of the world's leading research groups in the field, and Dartmouth's library that is one of leading research libraries in the US. AUK provides the recipient with generous funds required for the completion of this research project at Dartmouth.
President Thompson thanked all the applicants and wished them success in their research pursuits. The fellowship competition is open to AUK faculty members conducting research that can be facilitated by access to Dartmouth's libraries and museum collections, or to senior administrators pursuing professional development projects that can be guided by Dartmouth mentors.
The selection criteria included the proposal's promise of research outcomes or professional development, alignment with the Strategic Planning Goals of AUK, a project timeline, and appropriate use of Dartmouth resources.

AUK host Senior Capstone Graphic Design Exhibition
The Graphic Design program at the American University of Kuwait hosted an exhibition on January 18th, 2011 where 15 senior graphic design students were able to showcase their semester long work for GDES 490. GDES 490 is the graphic design program's capstone course, which must be completed by all graphic design majors before they graduate from AUK.
This semester GDES 490 was taught by Assistant Professor Marcella Kulchitsky who along with Campus Services organized the exhibit. According to Professor Kulchitsky, the Capstone course gives AUK students an opportunity to transform an idea or concept into a creative expression that communicates a message. She explains, "This is an important process that every graphic design student should experience before they enter the design market place."
Professor Kulchitsky also points out that AUK takes a different approach to learning the discipline of graphic design than vocationally oriented institutions. She explains, "vocationally oriented schools treat the design process as secondary to the student's learning and emphasize the end product. Consequently, students have flashy project but portfolios with very little substance." She continues, "At AUK we are committed to preparing our students to have the capacity to think before they begin the design process." According to Professor Kulchitsky this will make AUK students much better designers in the long run.
The exhibition was open to all AUK faculty and staff, as well as their families. The students exhibiting their work were:
Abdulaziz Al-Mudhaf
Danah Jbara
Ehab Mahran
Faisal Al-Mutawaa
Fatima Al-Sughayer
Fatma Jawhar
Jassem Al-Wazzan
Meshari Al-Muhaini
