Mr. Hossain just completed his fourth year of teaching at York Technical College. Before his arrival at York Tech he spent over fifteen years in the industry at various engineering capacities. His engineering career started as a Mechanical Tool Design Engineer at Posi-Seal International, a subsidiary of Monsanto Chemicals, in Connecticut.
Mr. Hossain teaches mechanical engineering technology classes. With his broad in-depth subject knowledge, engineering experience and a sense of humor, he can turn every dry engineering classroom into a fun learning environment. He enjoys teaching because he believes in the old Greek philosophy, docindo dicimas, which means ‘we learn by teaching’. He is a life long learner whose academic qualifications include an MS in Mechanical Engineering from Bucknell University, PA, and an MS in Engineering Mechanics from Penn State University. Mr. Hossain is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Clemson University through the distance-learning program. He is well liked and respected by his colleagues and students. He possesses a great sense of humors and in his leisure time he enjoys jogging, story telling, singing and gardening. Stop by his office if you are in the area and he will greet you with his great smile. Mr. Hossain lives in Rock Hill with his wife and three young daughters.

About the Instructor
My name is Susan Sherlock. I have been a fulltime faculty member at York Technical College since 1986. Being a native of the Rock Hill/York area I naturally looked to York Tech to further my education after high school and obtained a degree in Engineering Graphics Technology. Upon graduation in 1982 I took a job as an engineering technician with a local civil engineering company. I soon discovered that I enjoyed working in the civil engineering field and returned to York Tech for a degree in Civil Engineering Technology. I later completed a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology with a major in Civil Engineering Technology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Teaching is something I have grown to love and I especially enjoy working with folks that are beginning new challenges, such as beginning a new career as a young person, or changing careers as an older “non-traditional” student, or preparing to go back to work after raising children. It is exciting and very rewarding to be a part of the many successes I witness each year.
When I am not busy at the College, I spend my time either playing music or in the gym. As a professional hammered dulcimer player I enjoy teaching at festivals and performing nationally. In June 2001 I released my debut recording, Wateree, on CD. I am also a bit of a gym rat. I love to lift weights and run, and have placed in several local races and competitions.
I currently live in York with my son.
