Scientific Symposium: How to turn the idea into an existing project and the role of BADIR program

The department of chemical engineering, King Khalid University, hosted a symposium on 7/112017 under the supervision of Dr. Atef El Jery,  coordinator of seminars and visits, Mr. Ali Al-Wadai from BADIR Program for Technology Incubators, within the joint cooperation between the faculty of engineering, government institutions and the private sector in Saudi Arabia. Mr. Ali Al-Wadai presented a scientific seminar on how the idea turned into an existing project and the role of BADIR program. The program is an extension to support the technical work and provide various support and care to develop the spirit of innovation and innovation in the technical field of the Saudi Arabia youth to help them make positive effects and innovate promising technologies that contribute to increasing productivity and diversification of sources income and create more career opportunities for young people.

Mr. Ali Al-Wadai stressed that the idea is the foundation of the project. The successful and strong idea is the basis of a successful project. Then make effective steps to turn the idea into a project. He pointed out that despite the economic crises that invade the world and countries and physical instability, each of us in the desire to increase the income. But we face some problems, the first of which is the fear of starting a project and bearing its consequences. The question is, will it succeed? will it fail? will I win a lot? will I lose? All of these questions are a barrier between you and your project. In order to start your project and overcome all these problems and fears, you have to take effective steps that will enable you to start your project and turn your idea into a realistic project. The most important of these: the idea, know the strength of your idea, the search for your idea in the market, and effectiveness. One of the requirements of transforming the idea into an existing project requires: faith in the idea, hard work, management, capital, strong management…

In the end, the Department of Chemical Engineering expressed its thanks and gratitude for the valuable information provided by Mr. Ali Al-Wadai.

  The Committee of Higher Studies for Masters and Research at the Department of Electrical Engineering recently held an Orientation Program for new MSc students to mark the beginning of the first semester of the academic year 1446. The event commenced with a welcoming address from the Department Chairman, Dr. AbdulRahman Alayedh, who set a positive tone for the sessions to follow. In the subsequent discussion, Dr. Mohammad Mastoor Alammar, the Coordinator of the Research and Higher Studies Committee, presented crucial information regarding the MSc Program's norms and regulations, which included guidance on the advising committee, course credits, and thesis requirements. The orientation program sought to educate students about the structure of the Master’s Program at both the college and university levels. It also introduced faculty members and their respective specializations, clarified the roles of various units within the academic system, and outlined how the College of Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering can support students throughout their academic journey. Additionally, committee member Dr. Javed Khan Bhutto shared his research experiences and discussed future prospects related to the Masters Course. The session concluded with Dr. Mohammad Mastoor Alammar delivering a vote of thanks to all attendees, marking a successful start for the incoming MSc students.
The College of Engineering at King Khalid University achieved the top 200 majors in the world after achieving a rank of 151-200 in the field of chemical engineering. The university also achieved record numbers in the field of electrical and electronics engineering by ranking 401-450 in the world.
  Based on the keenness of the College of Engineering at King Khalid University - represented by the Training Unit - to perfect and develop its outputs and link them to the labor market and for its male and female students to receive the best quality and distinguished learning methods, a number of college students, under the supervision of the head of the Training Unit, Dr. Dhafer Ali Alqahtani, coordinated a field visit. The students visited Al Watania for industries and Tasnee factory  in Riyadh on Wednesday and Thursday, November, 22-23, 2023. The visit aims to acquaint the students with the technologies that fall within their specialization and are used in the Al watania for Industry (its plastic and container manufacturers) and Tasnee (the battery factory), which allowed the college students to learn about the nature of factory work by meeting with the engineers working in the factories. The visit began with a visual presentation of the factories’ parts and components, the developments that took place in them from their inception until today, and what are the security and safety precautions. This visit included a field tour of the factory facilities and their effective contribution to the latest technologies and quality of production in the field of plastics, containers and batteries. An open meeting was also held to discuss and answer students’ inquiries related to factory operations and technologies. At the end of the visit, the college employees expressed their thanks to the representatives of the factories for the warm reception, and the efforts they made to make this visit a success, which comes within the cooperation and constructive interaction between the universities with the governmental and private sectors in the field of industry to link the theoretical reality with the practical and applied, because of its great positive impact and great benefit to its graduates and graduates of the College of Engineering.
