Dr. Abdel-Mawla: The diversity and excellence of the graduation projects reflect the preparation of graduates capable of competing and contributing to development.

Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Mawla, President of Assiut University, inaugurated the Faculty of Engineering’s graduation projects exhibition for the 2025/2026 academic year on Wednesday, August 19. The event was organized by the Faculty’s Graduate Follow-up and Employment Unit, under the supervision of Dr. Khaled Salah (Faculty Dean), Dr. Mohamed Safwat (Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs), and Dr. Zeinab Ibrahim (Unit Director).

The inauguration was attended by Dr. Shehata El-Dabaa (Engineering Advisor to the University President and Vice Dean for Postgraduate Studies and Research), Dr. Salwa Abdel-Rahman Megahed (Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development), and Engineer Ayman Ayad (Director of the Information Technology Branch in Assiut), alongside various department heads, faculty members, assistant staff, and students.

The exhibition featured 65 projects from the Faculty’s various departments and programs. The topics ranged across architecture, interior architecture, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, mining and metallurgy, electrical engineering, civil engineering, and mechanical design and production, as well as specialized programs in mechatronics and robotics, biomedical engineering, and construction engineering and project management. During his tour of the exhibition, Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Mawla inspected the student projects, listened to explanations regarding their concepts, objectives, implementation stages, and operational mechanisms, and discussed with the students the practical applications and solutions these projects offer for various engineering challenges.

The Assiut University President expressed his pride in the high level of academic and innovative quality demonstrated by the student projects. He emphasized that these projects reflect the knowledge and skills students acquired during their studies, as well as their ability to translate academic knowledge into practical applications and innovative solutions that serve various fields and sectors.

Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Mawla noted that the diversity of the projects and their interdisciplinary integration reflect an educational approach that bridges theory and practice. This approach aims to prepare graduates capable of competing in local and international labor markets and actively contributing to development efforts.

He affirmed the university's continued support for students, its encouragement of innovation and entrepreneurship, and its commitment to fostering collaboration with industrial and scientific research institutions. Such efforts help develop student ideas and transform outstanding projects into viable, practical models.

For his part, Dr. Khaled Salah explained that the exhibition serves as a platform to showcase student ideas and projects while connecting students with academic and industrial entities, thereby creating opportunities for training, employment, and entrepreneurship. He highlighted the faculty's commitment to aligning the educational process with labor market needs and industrial requirements, supporting innovation, and preparing qualified engineering professionals to contribute to the development process. Dr. Mohamed Safwat noted that graduation projects serve as a practical application of the knowledge and skills students acquired during their studies. They provide an opportunity to tackle real-world challenges and propose innovative, viable solutions, thereby enhancing the students' professional readiness and competitiveness in the labor market.

Projects from the Department of Architecture included a range of designs focused on ecotourism, such as: an eco-resort in New Aswan; a sustainable eco-lodge in Ain Sokhna; a tourism project in Dahab; a cultural ecotourism project exploring the history of the Nile River; the "Tala Aghormi" project; the MADAR project; the "Memory of the Earth" project; the "Gateway to Africa" ​​project; an ecotourism center in Siwa Oasis; an identity preservation center at Lake Burullus; a historic archaeological village in the Virgin Mary Monastery area of ​​Assiut; the "Bab Aman" project; the GENESIS project; and an eco-resort in Wadi El Gemal Reserve.

Interior architecture projects included: the NOAH project; the EL BORDA project; the Horizons project; the WAHAG project; a vocational carpentry training complex in New Assiut City; the Artory project; the NEXUS project; the Busat project; and the Celia project.

Projects from the Mechatronics Engineering Department included: a Smart Aquaculture System; an autonomous indoor delivery robot; and an autonomous robot for surveying construction sites and bridges. Projects in the Mechanical Power Engineering Department included a design analysis of various air conditioning systems and a performance evaluation of units installed in an office and a lecture hall; a project to upgrade and operate a low-speed wind tunnel unit for testing turbine blades; and a project to design an oil transport pipeline.

In the Mining and Metallurgical Engineering Department, projects covered the assessment of limestone reserves in cement quarries and their impact on industry sustainability; the processing of Egyptian phosphate ores and their industrial applications; and a study on recycling electric arc furnace dust for use in engineering applications.

Within the Computer and Systems program (Electrical Engineering Department), projects included the design and control of an autonomous waste-collection vehicle; a fault-injection framework for automotive software compliant with the ISO-26262 safety standard; a traffic signal control system using artificial intelligence; and an R&D project focused on machine learning using C++.

The exhibition also featured a project from the Communications division of the Electrical Engineering Department involving the adaptation and optimization of the Vortex processor for ASIC design, conducted in collaboration with Silicon Arts.

Projects in the Civil Engineering Department included foundation design on problematic soils (under both the 2021 and 2004 regulations); project management (under the 2021 and 2004 regulations); concrete structure design (under the 2021 and 2004 regulations); and soil and foundation engineering.
