Nawaf Alnajdi
The research focuses on cognitive load, stress, and motivation in engineering education, with emphasis on how students experience academic demands. Assessment and learning contexts are examined as socio-technical systems that influence mental effort, performance, and stress. This work aims to support the development of more effective and student-centered assessment practices in engineering education.
Abdulwahab AlTourah
Eng. AlTourah is interested in examining human–system interaction within digital platforms. His research focus also includes user experience and the motivational factors that influence users’ adoption and engagement with digital services.
Loulwah AlJouhar
Industrial Engineer with a Master’s research focus in ergonomics and human factors. Her research explores musculoskeletal disorders among engineering students, with a particular interest in how daily habits affect physical health. Alongside her research, she is involved in innovation and intellectual property activities, contributing to the development and positioning of patented technologies within research driven environments.
Noor Al Nimran
The research focuses on job satisfaction and employee experience, examining how organizational systems, training, and performance evaluation practices influence employee attitudes and engagement. Organizations are studied as socio-organizational systems to support evidence-based improvements in workforce management.
Shatha Alsayed Abouamer
My research interests focus on cognitive load, stress, and human performance in engineering education. I study how learning environments, assessment design, and motivational factors shape students’ cognitive demands, stress responses, and perceived performance. Using empirical, data-driven methods grounded in human-factors frameworks, my work aims to support evidence-based approaches to designing engineering education systems that promote effective learning and student well-being.
