  • Biography
    Aisha Mahmood has been working in the Department of STEM Education, Division of Education, University of Education, Township, Lahore, as Assistant Professor of Engineering Education since April, 2018. Aisha also works online as consultant of Engineering Education, Research & Practice and a certified trainer of TRIZ level 1. Aisha is currently involved in several international and local research projects. Aisha previously worked with Namal College, Mianwali (April, 2015 - May, 2017) as Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. She completed her PhD (2015) in Engineering Education from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Malaysia. She did her Masters of Science (2011) in Computer Engineering from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Pakistan. Her Bachelors of Science (1998) was in Electrical Engineering from University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore, Pakistan. She has a mix of academic, industrial and research experience for more than twenty years. She has also presented her research in many international conferences. She is an active member of Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), Society of Engineering Education Malaysia (SEEM) and American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).
    Through the platform of ASEE, she also got a chance to actively participate in engineering education related projects like “Refining the Taxonomy for Engineering Education Research” and the “Engineering Education Pioneers and Trajectories of Impact”. Both the projects were completed online and gave her a chance to work online with her peer researchers from the US. The later project also helped her to gain a contextualized understanding of past transformation efforts in engineering education by documenting and analyzing pioneers’ “impact trajectories” (contributions, influences, challenges, and successes) and to catalyze and study the development of prospective change agents.
    Currently, Aisha is involved in an on-going Engineering Education Research Leaders NetWorkshop that is designed to develop leadership qualities to support the development of our research field. Her participation in the active discussions, related to emerging issues in engineering education with pioneers and experts in the field, has helped her make sense of her own struggles during the transition from a positivist practitioner to an interpretivist reflective engineering educator.
    Aisha’s current & future research interests are mathematical thinking, design thinking, inventive problem solving (TRIZ), students’/teachers' personas, blended learning, Effective Teamwork, change models and Islamic pedagogy.
