The Student Activities Department at Al-Ryada University for Science and Technology organized an honoring ceremony for the winners of the “Al-Ryada in Our Eyes” competition for the academic year 2024/2025, under the patronage of Professor Dr. Yehia Mabrouk, Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
The ceremony was attended by Professor Dr. Reda Hegazy, University President, Professor Dr. Mohamed El-Sherbiny, Vice President for Education and Student Affairs, along with university vice presidents, academic and administrative leaders, and the University Students’ Union.
The event began with a speech by Mr. Saeed Abdelazim, Director of Student Activities, who highlighted the most notable student contributions.
Professor Dr. Mohamed El-Sherbiny explained that the competition aims to discover student talents and encourage them to participate in upcoming contests organized by the Ministry of Higher Education and other ministries.
Professor Dr. Reda Hegazy praised the students’ creativity and performance, affirming the University’s commitment to discovering talents, developing their skills, and boosting their self-confidence.
The ceremony also featured a spiritual musical performance of religious chants by student Mazen Mohamed Moussa (Faculty of Physical Therapy).
Competition Results:
First Place – Students Mai Sobhy Mostafa and Basma Abdallah Anan (Faculty of Nursing).
Second Place – Student Amir Khalil Gomaa (Faculty of Computing and Artificial Intelligence).
Third Place – Student Youssef Abdelhamid (Faculty of Dentistry).
At the end of the celebration, all participating students received certificates of appreciation and excellence in recognition of their creative contributions, followed by group and commemorative photos in a festive atmosphere.
The University’s Postgraduate Studies, Research, and International Relations Sector organized a celebration to honor the participating teaching assistants who successfully completed the program and obtained an international certificate.
Professor Dr. Ehab Saeed, Vice President for Postgraduate Studies, explained that the joint training program between researchers from the two universities contributed to enhancing the skills of software engineers and training them on specialized programming languages to develop advanced programs for artificial intelligence applications in the medical field. The goal is to maximize patient benefit through smart diagnosis of various diseases with high accuracy and speed, based on specific inputs fed into the system to reach a precise diagnosis in the shortest possible time, thereby ensuring the selection of the optimal treatment plan.
The joint training also included smart engineering applications, such as the rapid and accurate detection of car malfunctions, identifying the issue, and proposing solutions. This represents a real-world application of the Automotive Engineering Program, one of the distinctive study programs offered by the Faculty of Engineering at the University.
The first phase of training on designing specialized programs for smart applications has been completed, and preparations are now underway for the second practical phase, during which these smart applications will be applied across all medical and engineering disciplines at the University. Students will be trained on how to use these applications, representing a qualitative leap and a live example of the integration of technological applications in education. This will significantly enhance the skills of the University’s graduates and distinguish them in both the local and international labor markets.
It is worth noting that Lakehead University in Canada specializes in computer technology programs, artificial intelligence, and its applications.
