Dear students,
I warmly welcome you to the halls of the Faculty of Engineering—this distinguished academic institution that holds a proud history of leadership and excellence in teaching, research, and administration. Your presence here today is not just the start of a new academic term, but the beginning of a journey toward creativity, self-development, and active participation in serving your community and country.

The Faculty of Engineering at Mansoura University is not merely classrooms or advanced laboratories; it is an integrated educational environment that offers real opportunities for learning, innovation, teamwork, and engagement with societal and industrial challenges. We firmly believe that an engineer is not made solely in a lecture hall, but through practice, experimentation, participation, and critical and creative thinking.

I urge you to be active students who do not settle for passively receiving knowledge but strive to acquire skills, seek hands-on experiences, take initiative, engage in student activities, and immerse yourselves in university life. These university years are the most valuable chance to shape your professional and human character.

Dear colleagues,
You are the cornerstone of the educational process and the true shapers of our students’ minds and hearts.
