Lighting and Conditioning Systems:
These systems are designed to reduce energy consumption. The lighting system utilizes motion and occupancy sensors, along with illumination ratio sensors. The conditioning system operates based on occupancy, temperature, and humidity sensors.
Announcement Screens:
Traditional paper-based announcements have been replaced by two types of screens to minimize paper usage and integrate internal systems. The first type, located in aisles, displays public announcements and educational materials. The second type, positioned at lecture hall doors, is dynamic and shows the hall number, current lecture, temperature, upcoming lectures, and notifications about canceled or delayed sessions. Both types are centrally controlled with a fixed schedule.
Multi-Touch Interactive Screen:
All classrooms are equipped with interactive screens that support Android systems and are centrally controlled for updates and downloads. These screens offer several advantages to facilitate the educational process. For instance, they can be wirelessly used as interactive projection devices and multi-touch screens. Applications such as browsers, engineering tools, and simulation software can be uploaded to support teaching and learning. Additionally, teachers can record lectures, save materials, and share files using QR codes directly from the screens.
Students’ iPads/Tablets:
To promote a paper-free educational environment and support online learning, all students use tablets or iPads instead of books, equipped with high-speed internet connections. These devices are managed through students’ emails, where essential software is uploaded. Materials, references, presentations, and books are downloaded via e-class platforms. Students also use these devices in class to interact with the materials presented by teachers.
Advanced Interactive Labs:
All labs are equipped with advanced automation software that enables students to conduct experiments virtually before performing them in real-life scenarios. These labs include the Beauty Lab, Fashion Lab, Cybersecurity Lab, Electronic Crimes Lab, Energy Lab, and Electrical Installation Lab. This system enhances hands-on learning by integrating theoretical and practical applications.
SUME primarily relies on two educational systems: online learning and an interactive electronic curriculum. The university conducts general courses online and approves online exams by implementing the following systems:
E-Class Systems:
Moodle and Google Classroom are the primary platforms, integrated with students’ emails and IDs. E-class connects to the registration system, ensuring automatic data updates at the beginning and end of each semester. This includes class schedules and lists of teachers and students, supporting the Flipped Classroom model.
Interactive Learning Systems:
The university uses an interactive learning system encompassing theoretical and practical components. For theory, Nearpod software offers libraries and tools that simulate practical scenarios. For practice, specialized software is tailored to each field. These systems enhance the educational process, ensure students achieve the required learning outcomes, and provide feedback for continuous improvement.
Intelligence and innovation are not limited to the educational process but extend to automating many internal administrative operations. These include processes related to the Purchases Department, Human Resources, Financial Department, and IT. This automation aims to reduce paper-based work, ensure proper documentation, and maintain adherence to hierarchical procedures. Several software programs have been implemented, and staff members have been trained to use them effectively.
