Under the patronage of Professor Dr. Ahmed El-Menshawy, President of the University, and Professor Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Mawla, Vice President for Education and Student Affairs, and under the supervision of Professor Dr. Khaled Salah, Dean of the Faculty, and Professor Dr. Mohamed Safwat Aburia, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs, the Faculty of Engineering at Assiut University organized a scientific visit for its students to the Egyptian Space Agency on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. This visit comes within the framework of a cooperation protocol between the university and the Egyptian Space Agency. Professor Dr. Ahmed El-Minshawy, President of Assiut University, stated on the official page of Assiut University that the university is keen to strengthen cooperation with leading national institutions, opening new horizons for students to learn about the latest technologies and practical experiences, especially in vital future fields such as space science and technology. He praised the important role played by the Egyptian Space Agency in supporting scientific research and localizing advanced technology, contributing to achieving the goals of sustainable development and Egypt's Vision 2030.

Professor Dr. Khaled Salah, Dean of the Faculty, stated that the visit is the first of a number of activities that the Faculty aims to organize in partnership and cooperation with the Agency on several work areas within the framework of the protocol signed between the University and the Agency. The visit included an overview of the Agency's advanced capabilities, including modern laboratories and specialized research facilities. Agency engineers provided a comprehensive explanation of the most prominent technologies used in satellite design and testing of their delicate components, in addition to methods of processing space data. They also reviewed a number of research and applied projects currently being implemented by the Agency.

The Faculty of Engineering held an evacuation drill for the faculty's administrative building, an orientation lecture, and a firefighting equipment test.

On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, the Faculty of Engineering at Assiut University conducted an evacuation drill for the faculty's administrative building as a training exercise on building evacuation procedures in the event of a fire hazard. A rapid training session was also held on the sidelines of the evacuation drill on the use of an outdoor firefighting equipment.

The experiment was held under the auspices of Professor Dr. Ahmed El-Menshawy, President of the University, and Professor Dr. Mahmoud Abdel-Alim, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, and under the supervision and attendance of Professor Dr. Khaled Salah, Dean of the Faculty, Professor Dr. Mohamed Safwat Abu Raya, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs and Acting Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development, and Professor Raafat Bakr, Secretary-General of the Faculty.

The experiment was also supervised and implemented by Major General Abdel Rahman Serry, Advisor to the President of the University, Professor Moamen Mohamed Sayed, Director of the Security Department, Professor Mohamed Abdel-Aal, Director of the University Civil Defense, Professor Ali Omar, Director of Occupational Safety and Health, Professor Mohamed Mohie, Director of the Faculty Security Department, and a number of faculty security and university civil defense personnel.

A large number of employees from various sectors and facilities of the Faculty participated in the experiment. The implementation was carried out in cooperation with the University Security and Occupational Safety Department, hospitals, and various relevant authorities. The University Security Department, fire engines from the University Civil Protection Department, and ambulances from hospitals participated in the experiment.

During the orientation lecture, Professor Dr. Khaled Salah, Dean of the Faculty, pointed out that the training activities are part of a series of training courses aimed at spreading a culture of dealing with and avoiding risks to ensure the safety of individuals and facilities. This is achieved through practical application of how to take the optimal response and proper action in risk situations, thus preserving lives and facilities. He praised the Faculty of Engineering's facilities, laboratories, and green spaces, which require proper and comprehensive preservation and protection.

His Excellency also expressed his thanks and appreciation to the university administration, headed by Professor Dr. Ahmed El-Minshawy, President of Assiut University, and Professor Dr. Mahmoud Abdel-Alim, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development Affairs. He commended their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all individuals and facilities on campus. He also urged them to continue to promote a culture of civil protection and to introduce firefighting mechanisms and proper procedures to avoid their causes and reduce their risks. He also noted the continued efforts and tireless work to train and qualify all employees across the university's various sectors to adhere to public safety and security procedures, and to enhance their expertise in this important field.

In the same context, Professor Dr. Mohamed Safwat Ali emphasized the importance of such training courses, which aim to spread the culture of civil defense and introduce mechanisms for preserving human resources and protecting facilities. He also thanked the university administration for providing continuous support at all levels, based on its full awareness of the importance of civil defense and its commitment to ensuring the safety of individuals and facilities from danger.

The Faculty of Engineering extends its sincere thanks to the University Security and Occupational Safety Department for providing the necessary support and technical supervision of the evacuation process.

The Faculty of Engineering workshops at Assiut University represent a promising model for the circular economy and achieving sustainable development goals. They represent the first center of expertise in applying circular economy principles within the university. Their activities are not limited to manufacturing, education, training, and providing technical consulting, but also extend to the maintenance and renewal of products (such as furniture and research equipment) through refurbishment and refurbishment processes.

This extends the useful life of consumables, preventing depreciation (depreciation of assets) and reducing waste.

Practical Example: Refurbishing Dilapidated Seats:

As shown in the images, a set of seats that were on the verge of depreciation in one of the university's faculties was revived through:

1. Repairing the structure (in the metalworking and bodywork workshops).

2. Adding aesthetic touches (in the metalworking and painting workshops).

3. Returning them to service more efficiently and at a lower cost compared to purchasing new seats.

This model achieves Goal 12 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

"Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns"

- by reducing waste (Target 12.5).

- Promoting reuse (Target 12.6).

Tangible benefits:

- Cost reduction: Reducing the university's annual purchasing bill.

- Environmental protection: Reducing the carbon footprint resulting from the manufacture of new products.

- Empowering students and researchers: Practical application of sustainability and circular economy concepts in engineering education.

Finally, the Faculty of Engineering workshops at Assiut University are not merely manufacturing units; they are incubators for sustainable innovation, translating the principles of the circular economy into action and providing a model for integrating academic, environmental, and economic goals into a single framework.
