As part of the college’s commitment to supporting student initiatives and innovative academic projects that keep pace with technological and artificial intelligence developments, and contribute to preparing graduates capable of enhancing decision-making systems across various national sectors, students from the Department of Management Information Systems presented an outstanding scientific showcase on Wednesday, 14 / 05 / 1447 AH, entitled “Decision 2.0: The Smart Compass for Decisions”, within the requirements of the Decision Support Systems course.
During the presentation, the students introduced the concept of the Smart Compass for Decisions as an innovative model representing the new generation of decision support systems. This model relies on artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and machine learning to provide accurate and predictive recommendations that help decision-makers select optimal alternatives at the right time, unlike traditional systems that depended solely on descriptive analysis.
The presentation explained the mechanism of the Smart Compass and its benefits in balancing human expertise with automated analysis, making decision-making smarter and more effective, and enabling institutions to achieve strategic goals. It also highlighted practical applications in diverse fields such as business management, healthcare, education, and cybersecurity.
An interactive explanatory video enriched the presentation by simulating the Smart Compass in action, demonstrating how artificial intelligence can be employed to analyze data and propose suitable alternatives. This added a distinctive practical dimension and reflected the students’ creativity and professionalism in utilizing modern technological tools. The event was further enhanced with symbolic giveaways representing the idea of “Smart Decision,” which created an atmosphere of enthusiasm and engagement among attendees.
At the conclusion of the event, Dr. Hebatallah Elwishy delivered a word of thanks to her students, appreciating their efforts in integrating theoretical and practical aspects of the Decision Support Systems course. She emphasized that such activities strengthen analytical and creative thinking, and reinforce the concept of applied learning within a stimulating academic environment.
