Graduation Project Presentations & Exhibition – Faculty of Administrative Sciences

Screens lit up on Microsoft Teams while the lobby of the Faculty of Administrative Sciences turned into a mini-expo floor. In a single day, Galala University’s business students defended capstone work online and then shifted to an on-campus exhibition where prototypes, dashboards, policy briefs, and go-to-market playbooks met real feedback from industry and public-sector leaders.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Prof. Dr. Mohamed El-Shinawi, President of Galala University, who underscored a clear expectation for the college: projects must stand on two feet—academic rigor and practical usability. That set the tone for interactive walkthroughs where guests pressed students on assumptions, data lineage, and implementation plans.

Who joined the conversation

• Major General Mohamed Rashwan — Head of HR & Capacity Building, Egyptian Customs Authority

• Mr. Tamer Badawy — CEO, Archar Solutions

• Dr. Mohamed Badawy — Representative, HR Department, Cairo Airport Customs

What the projects tackled

• Operations & analytics: inventory optimization models, process-mining for service bottlenecks, and Power BI dashboards with drill-down KPIs for non-technical users.

• Strategy & markets: export readiness for SMEs, entry strategies for digital services, pricing experiments, and competitor mapping.

• People & policy: competency frameworks for public agencies, talent pipelines, and incentive designs that balance performance with fairness.

• Sustainability & governance: ESG reporting templates for mid-caps, supplier risk scoring, and transparency toolkits aligned with local regulations.

On Teams, students fielded structured Q&A on methods (regression choices, causal logic, survey reliability). In the lobby, they flipped laptops around to show dashboards and ran quick usability demos. Guests responded in kind—sharing how similar problems are solved inside customs operations, airports, and tech firms, and what “ready for Monday morning” looks like in their contexts.

Why this day matters

• It bridges classroom and boardroom: findings became brief, decision-oriented recommendations.

• It raises employability: students showcased portfolio work and learned to defend it in front of real stakeholders.

• It tightens curricula: faculty captured feedback loops to refine next year’s project briefs and assessment rubrics.
