Beirut Arab University Organizes the Engineering Day at Debbieh Site

The Faculty of Engineering at Beirut Arab University organized the “Fifteenth Engineering Projects’ Day” at its campus in Debbieh on the 7th of May 2013 whereby 336 students participated, presenting over 100 projects, with the attendance of engineering firms which, like every year, were keen on selecting and adopting the best projects.

The Day was attended by Prof. Dr. Amr Galal El Adawi, President of BAU, Prof. Dr. Khaled Baghdadi, Vice-President for Tripoli Campus Affairs, Prof. Dr. Essam Ossman, Vice-President for Medical Affairs, deans, BAU directors, staff-members and students.

Prof. Dr. Amr Galal El Adawi praised the projects presented by the students, stressing on the importance of following up on the ideas presented during the Engineering Day. He reiterated that BAU is always keen on supporting its students to translate their projects in the future by adopting such projects through the Centre for Entrepreneurship (CFE) at BAU.

Prof. Dr. Adel El Kurdi, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, highlighted the abundance and quality of the presented projects for this year, which gives great hope in the future of the upcoming generation of engineers. He further stressed the Faculty’s prioritization of adopting and fostering the interaction between the staff-members and the students.

  

Prof. Dr. Ahmed Attia, Head of the Mathematics and Engineering Physics, and the Coordinator of the Engineering Day, highlighted the necessity to benefit from the students’ experiences. He also expressed his appreciation of the efforts exerted by the participating firms in providing support and introducing the projects and the students to the job-market.

The guests, then, toured the various sections of the exhibition, which allowed the students to explain their projects in details to the guests and the firms. At the end of the event, honorary shields were distributed to the first three winners of each of the following departments: 

Communications, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computers, and Industrial and Managerial Engineering.

In turn, the Centre for Entrepreneurship adopted “Invenio”, one of the winning projects, by Mohamed Issa Ali, the patent of which will be registered in partnership with BAU. The project consists of an electronic system that constitutes a programmable Invenio Box. It aims at converting ideas that need electronic programming into easy and accessible applications. Invenio Box can be used in education or by engineers, amateurs and others, to design and construct robots and remote controls of scientific and engineering projects.
