Mokhtar Al-Atiri was born on March 18, 1926 in Hammam Sousse and died on April 20, 2007 (age 81) in La Goulette, one of the first Tunisian engineers, one of the builders of the Tunisian University and founder of the National School of Engineers in Tunis.

Education

He studied his secondary education in Tunisia, where he obtained a baccalaureate degree with distinction, and then went to Paris to study engineering, where he accepted at the Lycée Louis le Grand Institute and from there he succeeded in the debate at the Polytechnic School in Paris to enter it in 1947, and he graduated with distinction in 1949 to enter École Nationale des ponts et chaussées de Paris (École nationale des ponts et chaussées de Paris), from which he graduated in 1951.

Father of Tunisian engineers

He returned to Tunisia in 1956 to contribute to building the modern national state as an engineer. He held the position of chief engineer for public works in the Ministry of Equipment for 11 years starting from 1958, and was thus able to supervise many major projects, including Tunis Carthage International Airports, Monastir Skanes and Djerba Zarzis And the port of Gabes and the tourist boat Port El Kantaoui. At the end of the sixties, he helped persuade the necessity of establishing a national school to graduate senior engineers and technicians in various disciplines. The National School of Engineers was actually established in Tunis in 1968, and he was appointed at its head between that year and until 1975. His task was not easy in a country with few engineers and technicians, so Mukhtar Al-Atiri used his connections to make the bet. This school has contributed to the graduation of thousands of engineers, making him the right of Tunisian engineers.

Other responsibilities

After the end of his mission at the head of the National School of Engineers, Al-Mukhtar Al-Atiri was appointed to head other institutions, including the Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company, where he was named its general director between 1977 and 1980, the North Sousse Development Company and the Micro-Media Institute, which was its founder and director.
