He also noted that the Faculty has reached the international standards in terms of performance as well as academic content and thus assured the university's confidence about and preparedness for International Accreditation.
Dean of Faculty of Engineering at Beirut Arab University Prof. Khaled Baghdady, linked the goal of organizing the Engineering Day to the need to introduce the Faculty students' work to entities and institutions. To this end, he invited engineering companies to select the projects they see suitable for development and adopt them, as the Center for Entrepreneurship at BAU does, for marketing purposes.
Professor Ahmad Atiah Ahmad, Faculty Member at Beirut Arab University, and the Engineering Day Senior Coordinator, described the students' projects as the glimpse of hope and a reassuring hope for the future. He pointed that the Faculty will soon attain the the Engineering and Technology Accreditation Council Certificate.
