Lebanese American University

The teaching and learning profile of our MS program includes a combination of advanced graduate level course work, involving lecturing, discussions, small group discussions, presentations, and a seminar series, exposing students to new findings in a multitude of research areas in molecular biology. The cornerstone of teaching and learning in out MS program is the thesis in which students carry out research under the supervision of a faculty member, the ultimate experience of one-on-one learning and experiential learning

Our graduate biology program is supported by 10 faculty members carrying out state-of-the art research in several areas including cancer research, cancer therapeutics, cell signaling, microbiology, microbial genomics, human genetics, yeast genetics and neurobiology, among others. More importantly, the diversity of research areas covered in our program is balanced by the presence of two focus areas in which we have a critical mass of researchers, namely: cell and cancer biology and microbiology and genomics.

Cell Biology and Cancer Biology

No special characteristics. Students choose their courses and obtain the approval of the chair to ensure the transfer of the credits they have completed abroad.

Our program has 2 areas of research specialization, one in cell biology and cancer research and the other in microbiology and genomics, which represent the two areas in which we have a critical mass of researchers. The research produced by these research areas is published in highly ranked international journals in the field and some of has practical relevance in that it addresses issues of antibiotic resistance in bacteria as well as mechanisms of tumor metastasis and targeted cancer therapeutics. Findings in all these areas could lead to better therapeutics in the future.

The multi-faceted approach to business subjects, theories and trends, supported by project and case analysis work, develops a well-rounded graduate, one who is able to assess opportunities and challenges and is a sought-after candidate to employers across all industries. The program serves as groundwork for further study in business, such as the Master of Business Administration, as well as in other fields. According to their interests and aspirations, students pursuing this program may select the emphasis of their choice.

The research at AKSOB varies between quantitative and qualitative approach. Some scholars use primary data in their research like case studies, interviews and questionnaires. Another group of scholars uses secondary data in their research. This type of research relies heavily on statistical models. Most of the research is conducted on developing countries as well as studies related to the region. At AKSOB, faculty are highly encouraged to publish their research work at reputable high quality journals per discipline of every faculty.

Teaching in the Chemistry program is multi-faceted and encompasses active learning and experiential learning techniques. Classroom instruction combines PowerPoint presentations with whiteboard instruction. Faculty frequently attend workshops related to active learning, experiential learning and assessment methods. Assessment involves examinations and projects, presentations (rubrics).

Chemistry faculty research is diverse in the areas of inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry. Faculty have established collaborations with local and international institutions and have very good publication records in top tier (Q1, Q2) and high impact factor journals.

Inorganic chemistry

The Chemistry program at LAU includes exposure to the core areas of chemistry (analytical, physical, organic and inorganic) and recently emerging technologies in a classroom setting and in the laboratory. Students have access to advanced instrumental techniques which faculty utilize in their respective research projects which encompass interdisciplinary studies (e.g. bridging chemistry and biology, chemistry and engineering).

Within a few years of graduation, the graduates of the Computer Engineering program will: Demonstrate technical aptitude in Computer Engineering careers and/or graduate studies Establish themselves in diverse fields of Computer Engineering Conduct themselves as effective professionals

In the Annual Year 2017-2018 faculty in the ECE Department mainly as published journal papers,conference proceeding and journals articles in press in the area of control, wireless communication, optics,networks,integrated circuits,RF circuits,internet-based systems and human computer interaction.

Software Engineering

Students in the computer engineering program develop an in-depth knowledge of digital systems, computers, software, networks, and communications systems. In addition to the core topics in electrical and computer engineering, students are exposed to subjects including microprocessors, operating systems, computer architecture, database systems, networks, electronics, control systems, software engineering, reconfigurable computing, communications systems, and telecommunications.
