The program lasted for three days. Prof. Sherif El-Badawy, the Dean of the College, handed certificates of training to the trainees. He also emphasized the College of Engineering’s keenness to build bridges of cooperation and strengthen scientific and cultural relations with the College of Engineering at Al-Mustaqbal University in Iraq, which contributes to the exchange of experiences and supports students academically and culturally.

The training began on the previous Monday, where the training day was divided into two parts. The first part included practical training for the students in the laboratories of the Electrical Engineering Department. Eng. Hesham El-Beltagy and Mahmoud El-Kassas trained the students on the principles of electric machines and the design of various electrical systems. The second part included training in the computer laboratories of the department, where Eng. Ali Henidy explained the included systems and the various artificial intelligence technologies to the students.

The second day began with a lecture on the management and design of electrical networks, presented by Eng.
