Dr. Mohammed Zubair’s current research towards detecting oral tongue lesions to detect signs of oral cavity cancer was mentioned in the reputed EETimes (USA) online magazine. He is accustomed to operating at the intersection of medical care and computer science and is on a quest to solve one of the most critical problems in one particularly painful form of cancer affecting the oral cavity. His experience is a bright spot in a new, blazing trail of experiments that are changing the way we look at medical care and cancer detection.  He has developed a novel AI based hardware solution for detecting pre-cancerous lesions on the tongue for early diagnosis of oral cavity cancer. The system showed both benign and precancerous conditions, alongside traditional diagnostics methods. What he discovered was nothing short of astonishing. His detection accuracy (percentage of correct prediction) was close to 90%, with detection inference time at around seven milliseconds. Dr. Mohammed Zubair is validating with his research what many in his field are also saying: AI can greatly improve the accuracy of cancer detection in images, and open up new ways of developing and deploying cancer screening with a new set of bionic eyes that can see and detect what a human can’t.

Call for a scientific Seminar under the supervision of the Advising Unit of the Faculty of Engineering entitled: Creativity leads to success     Tuesday 20 November 2018 at 11:30 am     Hall: Meeting room at the College of Engineering 145     All faculty staff and students are welcomed to attend.     Presented by Dr. Dhafer Saeed Al- Hammad

The student of Mechanical Engineering Department  (30 student ) attended a scientific visit to Elmarai Company at Abha on Thursday, November 15, 2018 under the supervision of Dr Sofiene Mellouli. The visit was very useful for the students, where  they had seen most  of the parts that they learn in the course of Refrigeration and Air Conditionning.

A group of students from the Department of Chemical Engineering visited the Central Laboratory of Water Analysis in Aseer Region in Abha on Tuesday 20/02/1440 Within the framework of the program, field visits are conducted for each semester under the supervision of Dr. Atef El Jery and Dr. Mudassir Hasan. The aim of this visit is to identify the uses processes in analyze drinking water and sanitation. This central laboratory is considered one of the most important laboratories in the Saudi Arabia for its services to the residents of the region through careful monitoring and testing of water samples for customers on a continuous basis. In order to ensure the access of high quality drinking water to customers, and on the other hand to control the sewage and protect the community from bacterial diseases. The supervisors of the laboratory said that the central laboratory in Aseer region supervises water quality and follow-up operations in all cities and governorates of the region, in addition to monitoring the various operating systems in it. He pointed out that the main sources of water and operational reservoirs and sources of water distribution, or points and sewage stations. Where pollution cases are directly found and the control of the sewage lines received at the treatment plants. The students were briefed on the components of the laboratory and the devices used and the method of water analysis in the this region, such as the method of color spectroscopy and methods of physical, chemical and biological tests and the most important indicators to judge the quality of water. At the end of the visit, the accompanying doctors expressed their thanks and gratitude to the engineers who are supervising the station for useful and valuable information that promotes the scientific method and the integration of the educational process.

Within the framework of strong collaboration between the College of Engineering and the Community College at King Khalid University in Abha, a team from the Civil Engineering Department in Surveying speciality, in partnership with another team of Archeology Department in order to carry out survey plan using Total Station instrument within an archaeological site located nearby Khamis Mushait Municipality, starting from Tuesday 14/02/1440 H (23/10/2018 G). This surveying fieldwork will also continue during the next week to finish the necessary update for excavations already executed by the scientific team of Archeology Department.

Within the framework of the Faculty of Engineering's keenness on the importance of visits and within the framework of the program, field visits for each semester, a group of students and doctors, from the Department of Chemical Engineering Dr. Abdelfattah Amari and Dr. Mohamed Ilyas Khan and under the supervision of the department coordinator Dr. Atef El-Jery, visited the Al-Jazeera Paints Company in Khamis on Monday 15/10/2018. The aim of this visit is to identify advanced systems in addition to the approved stages for the production of paints of various types. This plant is one of the most important factories in the region, which respects health and safety requirements. The production line is based on automatic production technology and the production value is 400 million tons/year of all kinds of paints. The basic processes through during the receiving and sorting stages of the raw material were explained until the final product was presented by Eng. Abdul-Aziz Nazeh and then he took the students to see these processes on the ground and to stand at every part of the production stages and explain them. This visit has had a positive impact, because  of linking those the chemical engineering students by the manufacture of paints in the country and integration in the educational process. At the end of the visit, the accompanying doctors expressed their thanks and gratitude to Eng. Ismail Al-Ahmari, Director of Al-Jazeera Paints Academy for his good reception. They also thanked Engineer Abdul-Aziz Nazeh for useful and valuable information which enabled him to promote the new scientific approach. Source: Dr. Atef Jery - Chemical Eng. Department

Engineering club has organized an interactive session for the students of Saied Al-Gobir School. Aim of this session was to familiarize young students about the Engineering and its future prospect.
