The solution of most of the problems of all sectors of life, including health, food, and industry is related to the field of engineering. Today we are living in the era of technology, today's era is the era of artificial intelligence," he added.
He said, "If you want to establish your place in the world of education and research, you need to go through the process of continuous learning. We have established departments like National Center for Satellite Technology, National Center for Nanotechnology, National Center for Quantum Computing.

Our children should focus on innovation. Our history is full of great scientists."
