About Us

Associative Power Engineering Community (APEC) is a

non-profitable organization established in October 2006 in the

Engineering Faculty of Ain-Shams University to help and support

all electrical Students and prepare them to penetrate their

professional life after college confidently through many actions as

providing visits and seminars as well as courses and scientific

Magazine.

Our target is engineering students in all universities over Egypt

starting by Power students in Ain Shams University (ASU) ,thus

APEC is considered the first activity of this Kind in the Middle East

totally Organized by Engineering Students.

Vision:

To provide a Developing Environment for students to flourish

their technical and non technical skills to dominate the job market

requirements.

Mission:

To raise the awareness among the Students in engineering fields

updates. And to provide variety of Tools to develop the engineering

students results in maintaining the influence.

Target Market:

Engineering Students from all departments and through all

universities centered at the Faculty of Engineering Ain Shams

University.
