Engineering,
with purpose.

I’m Mansour Al Jarbou, a final-year Mechanical Engineering student at KSU. I turn complex questions into considered designs, useful tools, and clearer decisions.

Design. Analyze. Question. Improve.

Seeking a cooperative training opportunity

Selected work / 2024—2026

Five projects.
One curious mindset.

From a mechanical test rig to a platform that helps students find their way. Different problems, the same considered approach.

Rethinking
the landing test.

An alternative testing approach. A lead-screw lifting system. A first-place team outcome.

A clearer
way to class.

From a Telegram service to Massar: bilingual maps, guided routes, and walking videos shaped by student feedback.

A little context

A mechanical engineer
who looks beyond
the drawing.

I’m a final-year student at King Saud University, interested in the space between sound engineering and a useful outcome.

My work brings together CAD, analysis, design trade-offs, and the coordination it takes to move an idea forward.
