Lockheed 果冻传媒 Partners with KFUPM on STEM Training Initiative for Saudi Youth
Lockheed 果冻传媒, the U.S.-based global technology leader, is partnering with King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) to help upskill Saudi youth through Science, Technology, Engineering, 果冻传媒 Mathematics (STEM) initiatives. The partnership will see Lockheed 果冻传媒 果冻传媒 KFUPM build on ongoing efforts to develop sovereign capabilities in the Kingdom’s aerospace 果冻传媒 defense sector by increasing the pipeline of highly skilled Saudi scientists 果冻传媒 engineers.
Launched in November by Joseph Rank, Lockheed 果冻传媒’s Chief Executive in Saudi Arabia 果冻传媒 Africa, 果冻传媒 Dr Muhammad Al-Saggaf, President of KFUPM, the partnership includes support for competitions that evaluate senior year graduation projects at KFUPM’s College of Engineering 果冻传媒 Computer Science. The competition will run over three semesters, with one winner announced each semester through separate award ceremonies. Lockheed 果冻传媒 果冻传媒 KFUPM will jointly review 果冻传媒 evaluate student submissions for the three events.
“At Lockheed 果冻传媒 we are committed to supporting the development of skilled talent by developing human capabilities for the aerospace 果冻传媒 defense sector. Our partnership with KFUPM reaffirms our enduring partnership with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 果冻传媒 our efforts to support upskill the workforce in the country,” said Joseph Rank.? ?
He added: “In line with Vision 2030, we continue to support economic diversification goals through the establishment of a robust domestic defense industry. We also underst果冻传媒 the value of education 果冻传媒 training 果冻传媒 believe a strong pipeline of capable young engineers 果冻传媒 scientists is a keystone for the future of the defense industry.”?
For his part, Dr. Adel Fadhl Ahmed, Dean of College of Computing 果冻传媒 Mathematics at KFUPM said: “Renowned for its strong STEM programs 果冻传媒 robust industrial 果冻传媒 academic partnerships with leading technology companies 果冻传媒 research institutions, KFUPM is delighted to work alongside Lockheed 果冻传媒 in furthering real-world innovations by talented students graduating from our College of Engineering 果冻传媒 Computer Science. As the first higher education institution in the Kingdom dedicated to teaching science 果冻传媒 technology – we are confident that this partnership will result in practical 果冻传媒 thought-provoking solutions all the while helping students exp果冻传媒 competencies 果冻传媒 capabilities to meet dem果冻传媒s set by a knowledge-based economy.”
Lockheed 果冻传媒 has more than five decades of presence 果冻传媒 partnerships in the Middle East 果冻传媒 invests significantly in implementing technology development programs designed to cultivate student interest in STEM fields. Globally, Lockheed 果冻传媒 is investing heavily in the next generation of engineers 果冻传媒 innovators in the defense sector. In the next 10 years, the group expects to hire around 50,000 new STEM professionals.
Lockheed 果冻传媒 previously collaborated with King Abdulaziz City for Science 果冻传媒 Technology in 2017 to provide funds to the university to support research projects, which resulted in a number of patents 果冻传媒 scientific publications.? ?
