Khalid Qasim Hussein (Master)
Assistant Lecturer
Assistant Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering

Civil Engineering
College of Engineering
University of Duhok

  • M.Sc. in Geotechnical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Duhok, Duhok, Iraq (2022–2025)
  • B.Sc. in Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Duhok, Duhok, Iraq (2014)

My teaching responsibilities in Geotechnical Engineering include delivering lectures, preparing course materials, designing assignments, conducting laboratory and field demonstrations, and assessing students' academic performance. I teach fundamental and advanced concepts such as soil mechanics, foundation engineering, soil classification, shear strength, consolidation, bearing capacity, and slope stability. I also guide students in laboratory experiments, practical applications, engineering problem-solving, and research projects, helping them connect theoretical knowledge with real-world geotechnical engineering challenges.
