graduated in August 2011 and eight are degree candidates in December 2011.
Dr Hamid R Parsaei, associate dean for academic affairs, said: “At the end of every fall semester, Texas A&M at Qatar hosts a recognition ceremony in honour of its August and December graduates and degree candidates. We continue that tradition this evening as we recognise 13 young Aggie engineers on the occasion of their completion of undergraduate studies.”
The ceremony and reception offered an opportunity for graduating students to reflect on their achievements during undergraduate studies and future career prospects.
Ahmad, a mechanical engineering degree candidate, said: “Studying at Texas A&M at Qatar gave me much more than a degree in engineering. Being an Aggie engineer is a way of life. It permeates our work ethic, attitude and the way we interact with one another.”
