The opinion
The good idea in the Saudi electronics and home appliances institute when they
cooperated with eight companies around Saudi Arabia, so In my opinion the Saudi
electronics and home appliances institute cooperated with many good and big
companies in Saudi Arabia for example they cooperated with Abdullatif Jameel
Electronics company, so this is big company in Saudi Arabia, that means the
students in this institute should get more experience in their major, also when
Saudi electronics and home appliances institute cooperate with the companies
that will care about experience and historical record of the academic partner and
care about academic partner`s programs and curriculum, that means this institute
should be improved in the future.

-In the begging the institute SEHAI has many cooperation with many Japanese
companies. It was a lot like Sony, OLAYAN, Almarai, Aless, Nikon, Zagzoog for
Home Appliances, SAMSUNG, DAIKIN, Toshiba, Sharp and JCCME. And about the
who decide what content and curriculum should be taught in the institute is the
same company , because the students will be able to fix (prepare) the same
producer.

How many students got benefit from the cooperation between the
institute and partners, so far?
They told as all students got benefits, because they sing with company from the
begging, so all students got benefits. And the total of student who graduation is
200 and something.
Any way the students have nice job, because they do what they learn.
What is happening for the
students after graduation?
After graduation all students go to
their jobs, so they don’t Waite or
looking for a job, and this is a benefit ,
because they will use all what they
study in their institute , so they will be
experiment in the future , because
they uses what they learn without any
interrupt .
In my opinion the institute was more than good, because they make sure the
students have their job after they graduation and they have grate system in the
institute for teaching and punctuality.
So the out coming from the institute will be like the students in Japan come on
time live on time do their job help other friends .
In short the institute is good place to study on it, and the students will be happy
to graduation from it.

Conclusion
In conclusion, we noticed that the institute is well equipped and the labs and
classes are well organized which makes the institute a suitable place to study and
train in these kinds of fields and technologies. Also for the trainers, they can
improve their skills and knowledge with the latest technologies, which can be very
effective on their students.
The visit of Saudi Electronics and home appliance institute in Riyadh was very
exciting and interesting, because we saw many new things and new experience.
The effort of the academic partner (the institute from Japan) was obvious, by
providing and designing the workshops and determine the devices and equipment
there. Also, by train the trainers of the institute in Japan to give them more
experience.
My opinion:
The institute runs by many famous companies that have a very well equipment
and have an excellent reputation in their fields. The institute is helpful for the
student to get a good education and after that getting a job in many places that
the companies offer to them to choose. The institute provides a modern devices
and latest technologies to the students, which will help them to fit and to be good
with the real world easily. The labor market needs Saudi workers in these fields,
so the institute is going on the right way to serve these needs.
