             Another significant achievement in research and scholarly activities was the submission of two
             national level patent applications to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of Oman and one

             international patent to South African Patent Agency.  Also, the University has provided 3 major
             paid consultancy service to the Industry over past 5 years. However, the voluntary consultancy

             has been provided by our faculty members to relevant industries from time to time. The table 4
             provides the summary of the aforementioned activities.
