Welcome to Tariq's Homepage!

I am an undergraduate at the University of Maryland at College Park. I am currently pursuing a degree in electrical engineering at the A. James Clark School of Engineering.

This web page is being constructed as an exhibition of a series of projects for HONR 159J: American Suburbia. As the semester progresses you will be able to view my projects concerning the suburban phenomenon.

American Suburbia Projects

Suburbia is a phenomenon that developed from complex social circumstances. Its origin and development are often misunderstood. These projects will provide a glimpse of several aspects of American suburbias.

Project 1: The Fireplace as a Suburban Artifact

Project 2:Suburbia Defined-Gender and Television Commercials of the 1970s


Project 3:Development of Greenbelt
