Dr. Andalibi has been working in higher education since 2008 and is currently Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Rapid Prototyping Lab. His research interests focus on interdisciplinary projects using computer vision and machine learning, including UAS, vision-assisted devices, rapid prototyping, car navigation, and robotics. He has also created a YouTube channel called “Engineering Educator Academy” where he publishes video lectures.

Open Educational Resources are required as instructors cannot cover all the material they intend to teach due to the limited time in a semester. They are also crucial to teach our students the topics that are not included in their four-year plans yet necessary for their future careers at no extra cost.

Last year, I created a YouTube Channel called "Engineering Educator Academy" in which I have published video lectures for all courses in an effort to reduce the cost of mandatory textbook purchases for my students. This YouTube channel was also created to provide complementary education and cover the missing topics in our courses and act as a backup for my classes in case of absence due to pandemic or other legitimate reasons.
