ULIP GTM Intern, Industrial & Production Engineer

I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Abdullah Arafat. I had the pleasure of working with him for more than 1 years at the Spectrum (Professional Skill Development Club of KUET). Arafat’s ability to handle multiple projects & designs was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic increase in the popularity level of our club. No matter how tense a meeting, Arafat made sure everyone left with a smile. As a coworker or a friend, Arafat earns my highest recommendation.

Student feedbacks

Thanks Abdullah for being a great TA! While I could never quiet pronounce you name, you helped a lot in helping me understand the physical implication of the mechanics of materials. You always asked questions to make sure we understood what was going on. We did give some nonsense answers, but I'm glad you decided to push through our stupidity. Thanks again!

He's a really fun TA, and I would highly recommend him to other students. He always tried to have students understand the mechanics going, which helped in the learning process. (even though we gave a lot of dumb answers)

He explained everything perfectly and told us exactly how he was going to grade so we could get an A.

Abdullah was excited to run the experiments with us and worked very hard to help us gain a higher understanding of the material.

He is an awesome instructor. He understands what its like to be a student and teaches accordingly. Professors sometimes forget that.

Abdullah was awesome. He explained things well, kept it real, and made the class fun.

Abdullah was very helpful during the labs. He was willing to answer all of my questions and he pushed us to explore our understanding of the topics.

Abdullah was an exceptional TA. He always made sure we understood the concepts and he helped us learn a lot

Great TA. Fair grader and very lenient
