Dr. Abdelaziz Konsowa, President of Alexandria University, congratulated the Faculty of Engineering students who participated in the summer training program at the University of Louisville, USA, after their remarkable achievement in securing top positions in the university’s annual competition. Student Malak Sherif Badr won second place, while student Seif Magid Farouk won third place.

This achievement comes as part of the distinguished partnership between Alexandria University and the University of Louisville, which includes summer training programs in research laboratories, in addition to the joint undergraduate program (2+2) that grants students a dual degree from both universities in various engineering disciplines.

Last year witnessed the graduation of the first cohort of this program in Biomedical Engineering, where seven students received dual degrees after successfully completing their studies at the University of Louisville.

The cooperation also extends to the joint master’s program, which allows students to complete 6 credit hours during their undergraduate studies at Alexandria University that are counted towards the master’s requirements, followed by 24 credit hours at the University of Louisville to obtain a Master of Science in Engineering.

This international partnership reflects Alexandria University’s commitment to enhancing its students’ academic and research capabilities, providing them with global educational and research opportunities that enrich their experiences and open broad horizons for cultural exchange and the acquisition of international skills in advanced engineering fields.
