Last week marked an incredible milestone as I had the honor of being the main speaker at the official launch of the SOLIDWORKS User Group – Mansoura National University (SWUG MNU) — the first certified SWUG community across Egyptian national and private universities, and the fifth across all Egyptian universities.
This moment is particularly meaningful as I represented my roles as a:
- SOLIDWORKS Champion
- 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Champion
- Mansoura SWUGN Leader
Our mission is clear: empower students and young engineers with the skills, tools, and mindset required to become industry-ready designers and innovators.
Institutional Support
The event was held under the patronage of:
- Prof. Sherif Khater, President of Mansoura National University
- Prof. Ehab Abdelhay, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Engineering
- Dr. Ahmed Kamal, SWUG MNU Coordinator
Their commitment to bringing global engineering tools and communities to our campus played a crucial role in making this launch possible.
Distinguished Guest Speakers
We were honored by the presence and contributions of exceptional speakers whose insights enriched the event:
Eng. Abdalaziz Albaqry, Vice President of 2B Digital
- Dr. Nabil Shalaby, International Entrepreneurship Expert
Their knowledge and perspectives offered tremendous value to our attendees and highlighted the importance of bridging engineering with entrepreneurship and digital transformation.
Technical Session: “SOLIDWORKS & 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Champion.”
During my session, I showcased:
- The power of the SOLIDWORKS ecosystem
- Real engineering design workflows
- Practical models demonstrating industry-based applications
- How modern engineering tools prepare students for advanced careers
The interaction with students was amazing, and their curiosity reflected a promising generation ready to embrace design, simulation, and innovation.
