This involves creating an integrated system that fosters effective collaboration and builds confidence in the quality of its educational management, research, and academic services among students, clients, and all stakeholder groups. Furthermore, the Faculty is dedicated to developing distinctive curricula and services that meet societal demands, while concurrently enhancing the potential of its personnel through regular reviews and process improvements. This has led to administrative innovations that have significantly elevated the Faculty’s performance.

“This prestigious award for 2025 reflects the Faculty of Engineering’s exceptional organisational management, which meets international standards,” said the Dean. “The Faculty wishes to thank everyone who has contributed to and supported this achievement. We extend our congratulations on this significant success and remain committed to the continuous improvement of our management practices, aspiring to serve as a model for other faculties and organisations in the future.”
