The exhibition included a number of outstanding projects from various departments of the college. In the architecture department, students presented innovative designs for logistics and service centers with names such as: "tushki Oasis", "neo", "NOL", "Nova", "Shatan", "wet", "spirit and basil", "legacy", "tajli", "Moeen", and"grid", which diversified in their fields between food and environmental industries, recycling and agricultural products.

As for the mechatronics Department (special program), the projects included: desalination of sea water using solar energy, a self-driving cleaning car, a three-dimensional concrete printer, an automatic filling line, and a wheelchair multi-control system. In mechatronics (general program), the projects included: a water body cleaning robot, an auxiliary medical robot, and a self-guided grass trimming robot.

The electrical engineering department included qualitative projects, including: designing test circuits for an electronic processor, a receiving and transmitting device, a voice-controlled wheelchair equipped with health monitoring, a wall climbing robot, a green hydrogen generating unit, and a real-time health monitoring system using the Internet of things.

In the Department of mechanical design and production engineering, projects have emerged aimed at recycling plastic waste and creating composite materials reinforced with fibers and resistant to shocks.

As for the mining and metallurgical engineering department, projects such as: a geographical database using modern systems, analysis of global facilities, production of alloys with artificial intelligence, studying the properties of rust-resistant alloys, and evaluating the stability of the coronary stent in the diabetes mine were presented.

The Civil Engineering Department included a specialized project in the field of roads and airports, while the medical engineering program presented a project for a health monitoring system using optical vital signs and Internet of Things technologies. The exhibition concluded with the project of interior architecture students to develop and revive the historical Caesarea market in Assiut.
