Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) has introduced a distinctive Artificial Intelligence program at the undergraduate level for the current academic year, according to the college's dean, Dr Mounir Hamdi. The four-year program targets engineering challenges and focuses on using AI to address issues in various disciplines, including chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering.
Dr Hamdi highlighted that the program stands out by addressing real-world engineering concerns rather than solely software development. The College of Science and Engineering at HBKU currently offers a wide range of undergraduate and degree programs, making it a multidisciplinary hub for education and research. This is the third intake of engineering programs at HBKU, previously affiliated with Texas A&M University in Qatar.
This year, over 315 students have been admitted to various engineering programs at the undergraduate level. The dean also mentioned that HBKU has plans for new undergraduate programs in the future, which will be announced once finalized and approved by government authorities. These upcoming programs promise to be innovative and are currently being developed to tackle important future challenges, contributing to the advancement of Qatar and the region.
Dr Hamdi emphasized the growing importance of engineering, particularly with the integration of artificial intelligence, sustainable development, and addressing health-related issues, in the contemporary world.
