The President of the Egyptian Russian University, Dr. Sherif Fakhry Mohamed Abdelnabi, stated that these graduation projects provide students with the opportunity to apply what they have learned in their respective fields and implement it practically, preparing them to join the job market. These projects also create an environment of scientific engagement within the university between faculty members and students, allowing them to benefit from the university’s infrastructure. He emphasized that student graduation projects receive special attention and support from Dr. Mohamed Kamal El-Sayed Mostafa, Chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees, and the university administration.

In the same context, Dr. Alaa Mohamed Al-Batsh, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the Egyptian Russian University, confirmed that the graduation projects were evaluated by committees consisting of professors from prestigious universities, key figures from the Egyptian job market, and faculty members of the college. These committees assessed the students to ensure their mastery of the necessary knowledge and skills, qualifying them for the job market at local, regional, and international levels.

The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering added that the evaluation committees praised this year’s graduation projects, noting that they demonstrated the students’ understanding of fundamental theoretical aspects as well as practical skills gained throughout their studies. These skills were further enhanced through practical training at sites, companies, factories, and field visits to national projects, enabling them to create comprehensive graduation projects in their respective fields.

Dr. Fatma Sheltout, Head of the Construction Engineering Department at the Faculty of Engineering, stated that several projects were discussed within the department, including projects on soil and foundations, material properties, reinforced concrete, roads, and steel structures.

She also mentioned that students applied construction project management techniques through two projects: the construction of a health unit and a school in Badr City, under the supervision of Dr. Saeed Ahmed Mahrous. Students created a schedule, conducted quantity surveying, calculated direct and indirect costs for both projects, visited the project sites, and built a physical model of the implemented work.

Similarly, Dr. Ibrahim Massad, Head of the Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering Department, noted that eleven graduation projects were discussed. These projects allowed students to apply the knowledge acquired in their courses, laboratory experiences, and field training. This semester’s graduation projects were particularly focused on practical applications in automation, manufacturing and packaging machines, robotics, renewable energy production, autonomous electric vehicles, and modern irrigation systems.

Some examples of these projects include:
– A Level-4 autonomous vehicle.
– Design and implementation of an autonomous electric vehicle.
– Green hydrogen generation using solar energy.
– A smart shopping cart.

In a related context, Dr. Shaimaa Mostafa, Head of the Communication Engineering Department, stated that the first-semester graduation projects covered advanced technologies such as optimizing the frequency spectrum utilization in 5G mobile networks, evaluating security vulnerabilities, enhancing cybersecurity, and another project serving the medical sector titled “An Integrated Health Monitoring System with Remote Medical Care Capabilities.”

She further mentioned that the projects impressed the evaluation committee, who recommended participating in local and international competitions and seeking suitable funding for them.
