The Department of Information Networks at the College of Information Technology held its graduation project discussions for fourth-year students, showcasing the culmination of their academic and practical learning throughout their undergraduate journey. The sessions were marked by a scientific atmosphere reflecting seriousness, innovation, and academic distinction.

The discussions were conducted under the direct supervision of Professor Dr. Al-Harith Abdulkarim Abdullah, Head of the Department of Information Networks. He emphasized that these projects represent a pivotal milestone in the students’ academic path and embody the department’s vision of integrating theoretical foundations with real-world applications that serve the broader technological community.

This year’s projects stood out for their strong emphasis on applied and hardware-based solutions. Students designed and implemented practical systems in areas such as computer networks, wireless communication, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart control systems, and enterprise network infrastructures. The projects ranged from intelligent surveillance systems and advanced network integration to tangible, functional solutions tailored for both public and private sector institutions.

Evaluation committees, formed specifically for the event and distributed across various laboratories and halls, praised the high caliber of student work. They highlighted both the technical execution and the professional quality of the presentations and documentation. Several projects were identified as potential prototypes for entrepreneurial ventures and could be developed into fully functional tech products.

A total of more than 26 projects were presented by the department’s students. These projects demonstrated remarkable capabilities in analytical thinking, teamwork, and engineering innovation—reflecting the success of the department’s curriculum and practical training in preparing students to meet evolving technological demands.

Professor Dr. Al-Harith Abdulkarim Abdullah noted that the Department of Information Networks continuously strives to reinforce applied learning and align student outcomes with market needs. He affirmed that this year’s graduation projects clearly reflect that mission and mark an important step toward integrating students into the fields of professional technical development and innovation.

This event aligns with the College of Information Technology’s ongoing commitment to supporting graduation projects as incubators of creative ideas and platforms for enhancing students’ applied research skills. It contributes to preparing a technologically competent generation capable of advancing digital infrastructure and modern communication systems.
