Mohamed Mahgoub

Associate Professor, School of Applied Engineering & Technology
About Me
I received my undergraduate degree in 1990 from the Civil Engineering Department of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt and completed his Masters degree in 1997 at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. 2004, I was awarded my PhD from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I joined Alfred Benesch & Company, a consulting company based in Chicago, Illinois, working out of the Lansing, Michigan office as a lead bridge engineer. I gained over seven years of bridge design experience with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). I have wide experience in bridge rehabilitation and design, and is knowledgeable in MDOT, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and Federal Highway Association (FHWA) policies and design standards.
