Abstract
Having Received several Emails from my former graduate students requesting me to help them secure jobs indicates that there is the need to assist engineers to strengthen their capacity and be able to solve emerging challenges. Apart from their daily routine of work, engineers should be able to integrate the acquired knowledge and solve different emerging challenges in the community. The COVID-19 virus is the global pandemic disease, although it has already claimed the lives of many people, efforts to fight the disease have never stopped! This project is looking into increasing the knowledge and skills of graduate engineers while giving the solution to the COVID-19 virus. The project aim is to increase the knowledge and skills of our former graduate engineers and other engineers to solve local and hard challenges at the Renewable Energy Technology Center through the designing and implementation of the "Low-Cost Multi-powered automatic Breathing Ventilator". The project will be conducted at DIT in collaboration with Industries, Innovation accelerators, and academic institutions. The project will conduct the practical training on designing and building the prototype, install 2-5 machines to district hospitals, and organize the business and technology incubator program for 30 former EE graduate engineers.
