It includes a delegate from each academic department who has extensive knowledge of the activities of the department's laboratories, preferably the supervisor of the department's laboratories.

The following are the most important tasks assigned to the Laboratory Supervisors Committee at the College of Engineering:

• Supervising and coordinating receiving devices and equipment from the supplying companies, ensuring their compliance with the required specifications, examining them before sending the receiving, installation, and operating forms to the Procurement Department through the head of the department, and keeping a copy of the forms.
• Listing the periodic needs of devices, tools, and consumable materials at the end of each semester and reporting them to the head of the department.
