<\/a>Dr. Ali Dadgar teaching Chemical Engineering Fundamentals, SAU, Fall 2019.<\/p><\/div>\n
Dr. Dadgar joined SAU in 2017 and has taught Industrial Safety, Mass Transfer, and Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering. Dr. Rose began serving as an adjunct faculty member at SAU in 2019 and has taught Properties of Materials and Fluid Dynamics.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur ABET reviewers were very positive about the contributions of local industry engineers as adjunct professors,\u201d said Dr. Sam Heintz, chair of the Department of Engineering and Physics.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am proud to be part of SAU\u2019s engineering program, and thankful to Albemarle leadership for encouraging me to teach at SAU,\u201d said Dr. Rose. \u201cBy offering high quality engineering and science education in a rural location, SAU provides a unique and practical opportunity for students to better themselves and their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The student body comprises talented and motivated individuals capable of becoming perfect\u2011fit, technical employees. \u201cAccreditation \u2013 well-deserved and monumental by itself \u2013 positions SAU for unprecedented impact on the community and the region,\u201d Rose enthused.<\/p>\n

Dadgar and Rose exemplify Albemarle\u2019s long\u2011term support of SAU. The company sponsors senior projects, funds an endowed professorship, and encourages its skilled employees to contribute time to assisting the program. Sarah Palazzi, for example, serves as Albemarle\u2019s SAU ambassador. Albemarle engineers provide classroom talks, contribute as special guest speakers and review senior projects, among other valuable contributions. Two Albemarle engineers serve on SAU\u2019s Engineering Industry Advisory Board. The company also hires SAU graduates. Jason Bevan, the Magnolia plant manager and a strong supporter of the Albemarle\u2011SAU relationship, states that Albemarle \u201cwelcomes the opportunity to support the sustainability of this region\u2019s technical workforce and contribute to such a valuable asset of this community.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Abdel Bachri, Dean of SAU\u2019s College of Science and Engineering, access to Albemarle\u2019s engineers, \u201cwhich is greatly appreciated, is a huge advantage to SAU. They are embraced by the students, their industry perspective is the perfect complement to textbook theory, and their experience\u2011based approaches more completely prepare our graduates for employment. This is just one of the many great aspects of our partnership with Albemarle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am tremendously proud of the SAU Engineering program and the impact SAU Engineering has had on the students, industry, and southwest Arkansas community,\u201d shared Dr. Dadgar. \u201cThe students and faculty at SAU are top notch. The diversity of students from almost all 50 states and several countries has benefited SAU Engineering and the impact of the program\u2019s reach. I am proud to teach at SAU and look forward to a long and prosperous adventure together.\u201d<\/p>\n
