The Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Homs University opened, on Sunday, the exhibition of its students' graduation projects, under the slogan "Engineering of Innovation: From Classroom Seats to Industrial Horizons," with the participation of 42 applied projects in medical, agricultural, industrial, and technical fields. The exhibition aims to link engineering innovation with the needs of society and the industrial sector, and to enhance opportunities to benefit from these projects in the job market.
The exhibition was attended by supporting entities from the public and private sectors, including the Syrian Engineers Syndicate, the Homs Directorate of Industry, and industrial companies. Dr. Ayman Kseibi, Vice President of Homs University for Administrative and Student Affairs, clarified that the exhibition allows industrialists to review students' projects and their potential for application in industrial facilities, emphasizing the importance of industrialists' contribution to developing these projects in the future by providing support.
For his part, Dr. Muhammad Baker, Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, stated that the projects belong to fifth-year students and cover the faculty's seven specializations, highlighting the students' ability to transform their ideas and scientific studies into practical models that are executable and developable. Baker pointed out that the exhibition allows students to interact directly with industrial and governmental entities and benefit from their observations and expertise, opening the door to supporting projects, adopting some of them, or providing job opportunities.
Innovations in the Agricultural and Technical Fields
A smart drone for detecting agricultural pests and diseases stood out, designed by graduate Ali Al-Khalif from the Department of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering, with the aim of surveying agricultural lands and identifying diseases affecting trees, and sending their images and locations to the farmer's phone. Al-Khalif explained that the project idea originated from the agricultural nature of his region, known for apple and apricot cultivation, noting that the drone captures images of trees and processes them using computer vision and deep learning technologies.
Graduate Tamer Idris also presented a project for a vehicle to track unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) named "Victor 963," which relies on visual vision to detect and track the movement of aircraft using a camera and a moving tower, with live streaming displayed on a computer to monitor detected targets. Idris noted that the project aims to develop technical solutions for detecting and dealing with UAVs in areas requiring special protection procedures.
