Zaid Mursi and Akram Al Saify from Jordan, as well as Hasan Rafiul from Bangladesh, are studying on the English-taught, project-based Vehicle Engineering BSc programme at the Audi Hungaria Faculty of Automotive Engineering. During their studies, all three support laboratory research at the Department of Vehicle Propulsion Technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The international student community at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University consists of nearly a thousand students enrolled in bachelor&#8217;s, master&#8217;s, and doctoral programmes. The institution places great emphasis on research and development, strengthening the region\u2019s economic competitiveness while contributing to a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous scientific projects are underway at the Audi Hungaria Faculty of Automotive Engineering, which is well-regarded both nationally and internationally. The faculty\u2019s English-taught, project-based Vehicle Engineering programme attracts students like Akram Al Saify and Stipendium Hungaricum scholars Zaid Mursi (Jordan) and Hasan Rafiul (Bangladesh). They were drawn to the University due to its strong collaboration with Audi and its extensive corporate network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among them, Zaid Mursi and Hasan Rafiul had previously used the laboratories at the Department of Vehicle Propulsion Technology for their Scientific Student\u2019s Associations Conference (TDK) research papers, receiving professional support from faculty engineers. Their commitment to their research led to their selection for the National Scientific Student\u2019s Associations Conference (OTDK), where they will represent their faculty at the Technical Sciences Section at the University of Debrecen in April.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognising their dedication and enthusiasm, as well as their strong professional interest, faculty members offered internship opportunities to both of them, and to Akram Al Saify as well. Akram and Zaid are now working at the Engine Testing Room under the mentorship of G\u00e1bor Nagy, while Hasan is contributing to research at the Surface Analysis and Tribology Laboratory, assisting \u00c1d\u00e1m Istv\u00e1n Szab\u00f3. Hasan had already demonstrated his talent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.sze.hu\/audi-development-camp-participants-design-electric-powertrain-at-sze?ckw=YXVkaSBkZXZlbG9wbWVudCBjYW1w\">at the Audi Development Camp last summer<\/a>, where he was the top-performing participant among those from Hungarian universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-13-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-13-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-13-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-13-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-13-1536x1022.png 1536w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-13-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-13.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>G\u00e1bor Nagy, engineer at the department and head of the Engine Testing Laboratory, with Zaid Mursi (Jordan), Hasan Rafiul (Bangladesh), Akram Al Saify (Jordan), and assistant lecturer \u00c1d\u00e1m Istv\u00e1n Szab\u00f3 from the Tribology Laboratory.

As part of their internship, they analyse the performance and emissions of internal combustion engines running on different fuels. His fellow intern, Zaid Mursi, emphasised:&nbsp;<em>\u201cThis experience equips us with valuable additional knowledge, giving us a competitive edge in our future careers.
