Alexandria ( Egyptian Arabic: اسكندريه Eskendereyya; Standard Arabic: ar الإسكندرية Al-Iskandariyya; Ἀλεξάνδρεια Mohamed Hashish completed his elementary and high school education in Kafr Dawar, Egypt. Kafr el-Dawwar ( كفر الدوار) is a major industrial Town on the Nile Delta in northern Egypt. He subsequently attended Alexandria University where he obtained a B. Alexandria University (جامعة الإسكندرية is a university in Alexandria, Egypt. SC. in Mechanical Engineering with honors. After serving as a teaching assistant for three years in the same department, 25-year-old Mohamed Hashish accepted a scholarship offer to Concordia University in Montreal. A scholarship is an award of access to an institution or a financial aid award for an individual student scholar for the purpose of furthering their Education Concordia University is a comprehensive Public university located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Montreal, or Montréal in French ( pronounced in French, in English) is the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec There, Mohamed earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering. "PhD" redirects here for other uses see PhD (disambiguation. His thesis was on the theory of waterjet cutting.
Flow International
Hashish accepted a research scientist position at Flow International Corporation in Kent, Washington, USA, in 1979. Kent is a city located in King County Washington, United States. Although Flow was involved in waterjet cutting, it wasn't until Hashish invented a technique to add abrasives to the waterjet when the strongest cutting tool in the world was realized. An abrasive is a material often a Mineral, that is used to shape or finish a workpiece through rubbing which leads to part of the workpiece being worn away [2] Hashish supplemented his initial invention with numerous patents over the next 25 years [3][4][5][6] to further improve upon waterjet cutting. Due to his outstanding work in the field and consistent advancements to the abrasive waterjet technology, the University of Washington department of Mechanical Engineering honored him with the appointment as an affiliate professor of Mechanical Engineering. See Washington (disambiguation for other uses The University of Washington, founded in 1861, is a public research University Mechanical Engineering is an Engineering discipline that involves the application of principles of physics for analysis Design, Manufacturing
