Mrs. Samar Dernayka earned her Bachelor of Civil Engineering in 2006 from The Faculty of Engineering, Branch 1, in Lebanon. She started to work in the industry as a junior civil engineer for the Design of various projects in Lebanon and the Gulf Region. In 2009, she became a Research Assistant in Western University, London, Canada. She worked there at the Insurance Research Lab for Better Homes, a Research facility, in order to examine the effect of constant and gradient wind pressure on full-scale model of pressure equalized Rainscreen wall. Simultaneously, She got the position of a Teaching Assistant in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, while teaching Statics, Surveying and AutoCAD for Undergraduate. In 2010, she obtained a Teaching Certificate about Teaching strategies in Universities from the Teaching Support Center, UWO. In 2011, she graduated from Western University with Masters of Engineering Sciences in the field of Wind Engineering. From 2012 to 2015, she got employed as a Senior Engineer in Assystem Radicon, Al khobar. She was involved in BIM and Design of structural projects, as well as checking of (IFC) packages. Currently, she is a lecturer in PMU since January 2016 in both departments of Math and Naturel Sciences and Civil Engineering.
