On the occasion of June 6th, 2006 H.E. Dr. Annette Schavan Federal Minister for Education
and Research in Germany, inaugurated the Material Testing Laboratory, Mega Complex (Phase
Two) and laid the Foundation-Stone of the Industrial Park in the heart of the GUC campus.
The industrial park - built on an area of 40000 m2 - is the first of its kind among
universities worldwide, where not only the industrial Research and Development is taking
place incorporation with the academic staff of the GUC, but also the various industries
are hosted on campus providing human resources training programs, product designs, know
how transfer, research, prototyping and consultancies.
The GUC Industrial Park environment provides the industry and the students
with the best training quality by directing them towards the real manufacturing
problems as well as the task free research work for many industrial applications
to demonstrate and maximize their abilities:
-
Using the scientific research techniques in evaluating the manufacturing models
and machines.
-
Offering research, counseling and training services for the Egyptian industry,
based on advanced scientific and technical research methods, as well as cooperating
with international experts.
-
Introducing the potential Egyptian researchers and academic staff as well as the
available modern high tech scientific equipment to the international industries
and scientific research fund providers. This would increase the opportunities of
attracting international research funds directed to the scientific research that
is related to the industry.
-
Attracting the foreign investment in the area of industries that would increase
and create more opportunities in the Egyptian job market.
GUC Industrial Park provides a wide range of expertise covering the following
technologies:
- Sheet metal work
- Mould making
- High speed machine technology
- Prototyping
- Product Engineering and design
- Mechtronics
- Pneumatics
- Controllers and field bus technology
- Modular production technology
- Industrial computer integrated manufacturing
The first phase of the GUC Industrial Park is targeting the existing industries,
such as:
- Components and spare parts for cars and public means of transportation
- Agricultural equipment
- Household equipment (washing machines & dishwashers / cookers / ovens /
microwaves / ventilators and house air-conditioners)
- Metal furniture (office / educational / hospitals / labs)
- Electrical equipment (power generation units' components / low medium and
high tension distribution boards – electrical switches and components)
- Ventilation equipment, central a/c equipment and refrigerating units
- Home, office and industrial lighting units
- Rack units and storage systems
- Capital equipment (production lines, filling and packaging machines –
spare parts and components of sugar factories and flour mills)
- Hotels equipment and outfitting
- Electrical elevators, escalators and conveyers
- Parts and components of medical and scientific equipment
- Hospitals equipment and outfitting
- Armored and fire resistant metal doors
- Pharmaceutical industries
- Medical equipment and instruments
