Meet Mehtab Ahmed
Hello, I’m Mehtab Ahmed, the founder, author, and editor of Industrial Control Academy.
I am an Electrical Engineer with more than 15 years of practical experience in electrical engineering and industrial automation. Throughout my career, I have worked on industrial control systems, PLC programming, SCADA systems, motor control, instrumentation, power distribution, electrical troubleshooting, and industrial maintenance across manufacturing plants, power facilities, and process industries.
I created Industrial Control Academy to share practical engineering knowledge with students, technicians, engineers, and maintenance professionals looking to improve their skills in electrical engineering and industrial automation.
Education
- Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering
- University of Engineering and Technology (UET)
- Graduated in 2010
My education provided a strong engineering foundation, while years of field experience taught me the practical techniques that are rarely covered in textbooks.
Professional Experience
During my career, I have worked on a wide range of industrial automation and electrical engineering projects.
My experience includes:
- PLC programming and troubleshooting
- SCADA and HMI development
- Industrial control systems
- Motor control and protection
- Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) applications
- Instrumentation and process control
- Electrical control panel design
- Industrial networking
- Power distribution systems
- Electrical calculations and system design
- Equipment commissioning
- Industrial maintenance and troubleshooting
I have practical experience working with automation platforms and technologies from manufacturers such as Siemens, Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation), and Schneider Electric. My work has also involved industrial communication protocols including Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and Modbus.
Throughout my career, my focus has always been on improving system reliability, safety, maintainability, and operational performance.
Why I Started Industrial Control Academy
After many years working in the field, I noticed that many engineers and technicians faced the same challenge.
Most technical resources either explain only the theory or assume readers already have years of practical experience.
Industrial Control Academy was created to bridge that gap by providing educational content that combines engineering fundamentals with real-world industrial experience.
The goal is to explain complex topics in a clear and practical way so readers can confidently apply what they learn in their daily work.
How I Create Content
Every article published on Industrial Control Academy is written with accuracy, clarity, and practical value in mind.
Many articles begin with my own field experience solving real engineering problems. When appropriate, I also review manufacturer documentation, engineering references, and applicable industry standards to verify technical information before publication.
Artificial intelligence tools may assist with drafting, grammar, formatting, or improving readability. However, every article is personally reviewed, edited, and technically verified before it is published.
The final responsibility for all published content remains with me.
Areas of Technical Expertise
My primary areas of interest include:
- Electrical Engineering
- Industrial Automation
- PLC Programming
- SCADA Systems
- Motor Control
- Instrumentation
- Industrial Networking
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
- Electrical Calculations
- Power Distribution
- Industrial Troubleshooting
- Control Panel Design
- Engineering Best Practices
As technology and engineering standards continue to evolve, I regularly review and update existing content to keep it accurate and relevant.
Who This Website Helps
Industrial Control Academy is designed for:
- Electrical Engineers
- Automation Engineers
- PLC Programmers
- Maintenance Engineers
- Instrumentation Engineers
- Electrical Technicians
- Engineering Students
- Anyone interested in industrial automation and electrical systems
Whether you are learning the basics of PLC programming or solving complex industrial control problems, my goal is to provide practical resources that help you work more confidently and efficiently.
My Commitment
I believe engineering education should be practical, reliable, and easy to understand.
Every article is created with the intention of helping readers learn useful skills, solve real engineering problems, and make informed technical decisions.
Whenever appropriate, content is reviewed against applicable engineering standards, manufacturer documentation, and accepted industry practices. However, readers should always follow local regulations, official codes, and equipment documentation when working on actual installations.
