Mohammad Zahraee

Introduction

Zahraee chaired two departments for over 11 years and has served as Associate Dean and Interim Dean of College of Technology. He has been PI or Co-PI for contracts and Grants valued over $5 Mil.

I love consulting with other institutions on program assessment and ABET accreditation. It has been fun and culturally rewarding as I have done it at both national and international levels.
