BIO

Dr. Ahmed Mousa is a well-rounded civil engineer with solid technical and managerial skills with more than 20 years of consulting experience. His industry engagements in several parts of the United States was a rare exposure to challenging problems and interdisciplinary experiences including hands-on geotechnical solutions and deliverables for mega and infrastructure projects including oil farms, earth dams, flood control dams, pump stations , wind farms, interstates and residential and commercial developments. The interpersonal skills he acquired over the course of those consulting encounters have further polished my technical knowledge and allowed for a business utilization of technicalities. The more recent academic dimension of his career is a complementary venue to relay industrial experience as a professional engineer through teaching and research. Lessons learned from the latter should be a transferable asset for handling more complex projects that may require unusual solutions. He is a Registered Professional Engineer (PE) in the State of California as well as Registered Civil Engineer in Malaysia and Certified project manager (CPM).
