    I passed more than 35 courses and improved my general insight in engineering. Besides, I took fundamental and advanced computer science courses as elective credits in order to grasp solid understanding of programming. The most notable of which were Advanced Programming using C++ and Data Structures & Algorithms using Python.

    At the end of my bachelors, I proposed a thesis related to software defined networking and cloud computing. I utilized Matlab for my simulations.

    In addition to my academic syllable, I decided to test my skills in voluntary student activities. Hence, I was nominated and selected as the president of the Electrical Engineering Scientific Association.

    I also was the vice-chair of the IEEE student branch from 2015 to 2016. We held seminars, workshops, classes, etc. for students. We finally entitled as the best student association in the country.

    I also decided to try and assist younger students in their academic path by becoming a teaching assistant in several courses.
