ALHOSN University officially launched its Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program during a ceremony held yesterday (Wednesday, January 11, 2012) at the university campus. The BSME program will be offered alongside the existing Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) track, and will fall under the newly-instituted Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.

ALHOSN’s mechanical engineering curriculum is a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Many of its courses have compulsory hands-on laboratory components. The undergraduate program combines strong foundations in the engineering sciences with exceptional quantitative, problem-solving, design, and communication skills. The BSME program is accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

“We developed our BSME curriculum with an eye on gaining national and regional recognition as a leader institution in mechanical engineering education and research. We intend to expose our students to a wide range of theories and practices to ensure successful careers. Mechanical engineering plays an important role in our region’s growth, as it is an essential discipline in the production and processing of petroleum and natural gas, as well as the broader energy sector, including civilian nuclear energy. In fact, nuclear engineering is an option in our mechanical engineering program. We shall create world-class talents for these vital fields,” said Dr. Mohammed Chacha, Chair of the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department, ALHOSN University.

Registration for the first BSME courses offered in Spring Semester of 2012 is now open. Students and other interested parties are advised to contact the Dean of Engineering and Applied Sciences or visit www.alhosnu.ae for more information on BSME and ALHOSN’s other engineering programs.

UCLA professor shares America’s experiences in tapping immigrants to drive development

ALHOSN University, recently hosted a lecture entitled ‘Inclusion as an Engine for Economic Growth: An American Experiment’ delivered by Dr. Nelson Lim, a Senior Social Scientist at RAND Corporation and a professor at the University of California in Los Angeles.
Dr. Lim is an expert in racial inequality, immigration, strategic human resource management, and strategic diversity management in large organizations. In his afternoon presentation delivered at ALHOSN’s American Corner, Dr. Lim discussed how America’s ability to harness the potentials of its immigrants to drive economic growth has made it a model of development. He cautioned that emerging countries that do not attract and include immigrants into their society would be passing up on major growth opportunities.
“The concept of inclusion has become a major topic especially for emerging countries such as the UAE, which accommodates a large multicultural population. Dr. Lim has provided us with valuable insights on how immigrants should be positioned in our country’s development frameworks with America as a template for success. The lecture complements our university’s pursuit of ‘global knowledge with local vision’,” said Prof. Abdul Rahim Sabouni, Vice Chancellor and CEO, ALHOSN University.
