⁃ Developing the headquarters of the Center for Studies, Research and Engineering Consultations, working with it and performing its services and the role assigned to it in the form of a company in terms of quality and accuracy of service and a complete distance from the routine and complexities of work procedures.

⁃ Allocating a workspace for our students in the program building as a place for students to meet other during lectures and sessions, to discuss or debate any issues that concern them with each other or with faculty members, or to practice student activity, and thus there is comfort and reassurance for our students.

⁃ Online Classes to record lectures and broadcast them to students to explain some parts of the courses and apply the hybrid education method in order to preserve them according to the emergency conditions we are going through.

⁃ The community and national services that the faculty provides and contributes to as a message that must be performed, such as the road laboratory, which is considered as a reference to be referred to at the level of the Republic and to contribute to the construction of facilities that the state takes upon itself for implementation, and the consultations that are provided to various state institutions in various problems and cooperation in finding solutions to them. Contributing to raising awareness and spreading a culture related to information about the Egyptian code, working according to it and applying it.
⁃ The specific programs that have been developed and other programs that are being approved to develop self-resources, meet the needs of the local and regional community, and maximize the faculty’s competitiveness.

⁃ It is worth noting that the aforementioned achievements were implemented with self-financing from the faculty’s resources, not to mention that this funding is the least spent compared to previous similar periods.

In addition to the faculty's achievements, the third stage projects are being completed, which will be opened soon, represented in: the development of the hydraulic machinery laboratory, the heavy installations laboratory, the physics complex, the chemistry complex, textile workshops, the robotics laboratory, and the electronic testing center, to full readiness according to any requirements. In the future, serving the student or the outside community.

At the end of the meeting, Prof.Dr./ President of the University, Prof. Dr./ Vice President for Education and Student Affairs, and all the attendees, praised the efforts made and the achievements made in the Faculty of Engineering during the last short period of time.
