The Center of Excellence for Energy received 66 applications, 51 from Ain Shams, 14 from Mansoura, and 1 from Aswan; 56 were from undergraduate students and 10 from graduate students. After screening for eligibility, the applications were reviewed by a panel of EPU faculty members and interviews were conducted. Those who passed this stage were reviewed by ASU-US faculty and COE/E leadership prior to final selection. Of the 66 applicants, thirteen students were selected for the Fall 2024 student exchange program. Of the thirteen selected:
- Four are graduate students and nine are undergraduate students
- 54% are female
- Nine are energy engineering students, three are mechanical engineering students, and one is a mechatronics engineering student.
- Average cumulative GPA for undergraduate students was 3.48.
To expedite the process for course registration, the COE/E included a course pre-approval form in the application this cycle for students to set plans for technical coursework and obtain department and dean approval from their home universities. The COE/E is now helping the students register for courses at ASU-US, completing the J1 visa application process, and arranging lodging and other logistics.
