His Excellency the Rector of King Khalid University, Prof. Faleh Bin Rajaa Allah Al Solami headed the tenth council of the Faculty of Engineering for this year. The council was attended also by the University Vice-President for Research for Graduate Studies, Dr. Majed Al Harbi, the Dean of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research Deanship, Dr. Ahmed Al Fay'e, in addition to the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Dr. Ibrahim Al Flki and the Faculty of Engineering members. The meeting came after the directives of Excellency the Rector to recently open additional graduate studies programs at the University, and his emphasis on attending the College Councils to support and motivate them in this field.
The Council reviewed a study conducted by the College of Engineering, in which 524 engineers from the public and private sectors took part, to examine the actual needs of the market. The researchers evaluated 24 master's programs in engineering. The study concluded that five programs were selected to start designing their plans and accreditation procedures at the university's engineering college. The study gained admiration and approved of the Rector after the Council discussed the opportunities, challenges and impact of the opening of such programs.
For his part, Al-Solami expressed his happiness with the interest of the College in the field of graduate studies, pointing out that the Faculty of Engineering is one of the most important faculties of the University, which is highly reliable inside and outside the university, especially as the region of Asir is characterized by urban diversity. Moreover, RECTOR Al Solamy directed to take advantage of previous experiences of similar programs in international, Arab and local universities and work on developing and applying them to serve as many people as possible in the region and the Kingdom in general.
After the completion of the College Council, the REctor briefed him on the facilities, laboratories and workshops of the Faculty of Engineering. He praised the potential, equipment and organization he saw and stressed the need to make the most of the available potential, both academically and community service.
