summarized as follows:

• Eight faculty members need to be recruited in the department.

ranking.
• The online training courses might increase the number of attendees and expand the

available time throughout the day which contributes to the quality of the educational

process.

• Teaching staff should participate effectively in community services related to
mechanical engineering.

• Fostering research partnerships between engineering college departments.

• Accessibility of software such as MATLAB and (ANSYS or COMSOL) for students and
