The weakness that appropriate solutions must be found to fix it, in addition to exploiting the opportunities that are in the interest of the correct construction of the pillars of the plan. Finally, in light of the completion of the main elements of the strategic plan of the Chemical Engineering Department, the members of the Committee stressed not to lose sight of the threats and emerging changes that may hinder the implementation of the plan or some of its parts.
