                    benchmarks comparison analysis.
                 •  Updating the books and references of the Mechanical Engineering program
                 •  Maintain the workshops and prepare laboratory
                 •  Equipping and maintaining workshops and equipping the laboratory according to safety
                    and security requirements
                 •  Social and psychological guidance of students, due to its significance and impact on the

                 •  There should be an emphasis on identifying and nurturing talented individuals through
                    departmental competitions,  fostering motivation among the outstanding ones.  Efforts
                    should also be intensified to support struggling students in overcoming challenges.
                 •  The program must prioritize extracurricular activities to cultivate well-rounded graduates

                    who contribute to regional development.
                 •  Design and carry out a process  that guarantees students'  work and  assignments are

                    their  responsibilities, such as appropriately evaluating interns and conducting ongoing
                    performance audits.
                 •  The program plans to designate an external reviewer to assist with quality process.
                 •  Hiring laboratory technicians for the purpose of supervising and instructing students.

                 •  Developing a master program in mechanical engineering.
