Minister of Immigration and Egyptians Affairs Nabila Makram on Friday congratulated the former dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Canada’s University of Windsor Hoda al-Maraghi, for obtaining the “Order of Canada” in recognition of her faculty’s contribution towards manufacturing and mechanical engineering. Makram personally phoned Maraghi and her husband to congratulate them, and said that “Egypt Can” proves itself with every achievement made by Egyptian scholars around the world. Maraghi is the only Egyptian in Canada – among 114 other candidates – to receive the order since it was officially awarded in 1967. The Canadian McMaster University listed Maraghi among several elite and famous graduates. Maraghi was previously awarded the “Ontario” medal for her scientific efforts in the field of engineering.
