Hello I am Dr Yousef Amer, welcome to my home page. I am a Program Director at STEM. I have over 18 years’ experience in automation, manufacturing, operations, logistics and supply chain management in various firms in Adelaide, both local and global. I aim to develop links and collaboration with industry (manufacturing, service, retail, and community) to foster relevant and innovate research amongst our students that will meet and address current and future challenges. In my teaching I foster student awareness of industrial needs, process and practice to equip students with tools and techniques to be innovative and adaptive in the changing work environment. I have been lecturing at UniSA since 2006 and currently I am a Program Director, Research Degree Supervisor and Academic Integrity Officer. I am a member of the http://www.unisa.edu.au/barbarahardy Barbara Hardy Institute. Find out more about the Institute on our http://www.unisa.edu.au/barbarahardy/ website or on https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Barbara-Hardy-Institute/203019063082671 facebook.
