   Faculty of Engineering at Tanta University received today the children participating in the 6th stage of the program “A Child’s University” held under the initiative “Scientist Children for a Better Future” under patronage of Prof. Ayman Ashor, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research; Prof. Jina Al-Fiqi, Acting President of the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT); and Prof. Mohamed Hussein, Acting President of the University; in attendance of Prof. Mahmoud Selim, University Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development; under supervision of Prof. Ahmed Nasr, Dean of Faculty of Engineering; Prof. Hagar Alam Al-Din, Faculty Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development; Prof. Abdullah Khedr, Head of Chemistry Department at Faculty of Science and General Coordinator of “A Child’s University” at Tanta University; and Prof. Eman Al-Ghamry, Coordinator of “A Child’s University” at Faculty of Engineering.

   Prof. Mahmoud Selim declared that activities of the day included informing the children with the main issues related to development and natural resources in Delta region through two main pivots, namely energy and water.

    The day's activities started at 9:30 AM in the new seminar hall at the Administration Building of Faculty of Engineering. The program included a series of interactive workshops on energy and the environment, addressing key topics such as waste management and recycling, as well as contributions to environmental preservation. In addition, a lecture was delivered on energy and its transformation into various products meeting developmental purposes.

   During the visit, participating children toured the Internal Combustion Engines Lab and the Fuel and Alternative Fuel Systems Lab under the supervision of Prof. Hager Alam Al-Din Mohamed, Professor of Thermodynamics at Department of Mechanical Power Engineering. Moreover, the children saw the solar energy generation systems, agricultural waste recycling and incineration systems for conversion into gaseous fuels, green hydrogen generation systems, continuous production systems for biofuels from waste oils, and a hybrid car powered by solar and electric energy.

   All the projects observed by the students were funded by the Community Service and Environmental Development Sector through the sector's initiative to finance industrial models and support knowledge-based investment during its first round last year.
