The College of Engineering and Computer Science is holding the first scientific exhibition event this morning, Tuesday 03-07-2023 AD, in the presence of Prof. Dr. Khaled Omar Basalim - Undersecretary of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research for the Educational Affairs Sector, and Prof. Dr. Khaled Shafel - Director General of Private Educational Institutions - at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
In his speech during the event, Prof. Dr. Khaled Omar Basalim, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research for the Educational Affairs Sector, praised the holding of this event, expressing his keenness to repeat it annually, and praising the University of Science and Technology’s precedence in holding such scientific forums that contribute to serving the community on the one hand, and to serving students and the educational and research process on the other hand.
In the speech of the university presidency, Dr. Munir Al-Abbadi, Assistant President for Student Affairs, stressed the university’s interest in the practical aspect, with the laboratories, equipment and distinguished academic staff it provides that contribute to developing students and qualifying them cognitively and skillfully. He pointed out that what we see in the students’ projects clearly expresses the high level that students have reached in the practical aspects, which rise to the level of research projects and make students simulate reality, thanking the College of Engineering and Computer Science for holding such a scientific event based on student projects.
Prof. Dr. Nasr Al-Saqqaf, Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, stressed that such events are the basic starting point for graduating students qualified to enter the labor market, and linking the theoretical and practical aspects of students to create a generation capable of giving and making a difference in the future.
The event featured the work of the students of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, models that embodied the scientific material they received from theoretical lectures, artistic paintings, designs (students of architecture, interior design, graphic design and multimedia), and inventions of medical engineering students: a device for measuring oxygen levels, measuring heart rate, a device for detecting household gas leaks and fires, and the innovation of mechatronics students for a CNC wood and plastic carving device, and a robotic arm.
The scientific exhibition was accompanied by many cultural segments, including poetry and plays.
