Mohammed A.

My name is Mohammed Abul Hassan. I have graduated at College of the North Atlantic – Qatar studying advanced diploma program in Mechanical Engineering Technology program. At present, i am pursuing Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Qatar University. Most people in the world have some goals in life. My aim in life is to become a mechanical design engineer.

After I graduated high school, I became certain that I will pursue my higher education in mechanical engineering. The reason to study mechanical engineering is that, when I was in high school I was interested in Applied Math’s and physics. I like to apply theory which I studied in physics to solve real life problems. As a result, I have decided to study mechanical engineering. Moreover, I want interested to build hand-working skills in mechanical engineering. For this reason, I study at College of the North-Atlantic Qatar which is Canadian technical college. I have completed my advanced diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology (industrial maintenance). In this diploma, I have learned a lot of industrial maintenance for example- reliable center maintenance, how the power plant system works, how to do maintenance in machinery equipment’s etc. Moreover, in final year I have learned how to build product from scratch. In my capstones project I build a hydraulic book lifting trolley. At first, I have done to research for the need of project. After that I calculated and design the model in 3-D software Catia V5. After finishing design I fabricated the project using college resources such as welding, fastening etc. These all techniques of fabrication I have learned in my diploma program.


From this project I am interested to make career in design and manufacturing. After completion Diploma, I progressed towards B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering Degree completion at Qatar University. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, I have design and fabricated numerous projects, some of them highlighted below:

-The aim of project is to design and simulate a solar powered water distillation system for rural communities in Somalia. The system consists of the evaporator, condenser, and storage tank for salty water, storage tank for distilled water, filter, pump and solar collector

-The aim is to design a greenhouse that maintains the required climate to grow to tomatoes in hot and arid environments such as Qatar. The required climate includes the temperature, relative humidity, ventilation and carbon dioxide, lighting and thermal radiation, and so forth. The design is meant to meet the conditions at lower energy consumption and initial and operating cost so that to produce tomatoes that will be used for resale at a reasonable price and make profit. The design should also be reliable, have back-up systems, and be maintainable. Growing tomatoes and other crops in Qatar’s environment is important to increase food resources and production.


-Aim of project describes computational and experimental investigation on the response of thin wall structures for energy absorption of car crash boxes. In this project, the tubes subjected to quasi-static axial loading. Many different cross-sectional structures have been studies to find optimal configuration for energy absorption. Initially, the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model has been developed for different structures. From FEA model, Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) and Peak force has been estimated for different cross-sectional structures. To verify these performance parameters, quasi-static axial loading has been performed experimentally. Both foam-filled and without foam on different cross-sectional structures are implemented to study their effects on the performance parameters. The study used the aluminum alloy as a material to investigate the ability of using aluminum alloy in the energy absorption structures since the aluminum has lighter weight.
