The slogan “We innovate since 1972” is proudly associated with
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global Digital (TAG.GD), summarizing five decades of
institutional excellence journey. It reflects a working philosophy that shows
achievement not as a final destination; but as a starting point for a new level
of development and excellence.
Recently, TAG.GD launched Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global Digital
Polytechnic (TAG.GDP), which reflects the forward-looking vision of TAG.GD’s
founder and chairman, HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, to establish an innovative educational
model that transcends traditional frameworks and embraces a sustainable approach
capable of keeping pace with rapid transformations in knowledge and technology.
In this context, and as a reflection of its aspiration toward ongoing
excellence, TAG.GD is releasing and publishing the ‘Talal Abu-Ghazaleh
Polytechnic Dictionary’; a flagship publication in the Polytechnic’s library, designed
and developed to make technical knowledge accessible worldwide, serving as a
comprehensive reference connecting terms with concepts along with their practical
application.
The Dictionary targets a diverse global audience, including
students to understand new technical vocabulary,
educators and researchers to refine academic accuracy, translators and media
professionals to standardize technical terminology, and specialists and
decision-makers to navigate the language of modern technology.
Comprising 1,750 pages, the Dictionary contains more than 11,700
technical and scientific entries and terms. It covers a wide range of fields,
including artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, computer
science, programming, cybersecurity, cloud computing, robotics, natural language
processing, digital transformation, and AI governance and ethics.
The Dictionary was designated in line with the vision of Dr.
Abu-Ghazaleh that sustainability in education does not simply mean ensuring the
continuity of an institution; rather, it means enabling learners to remain
capable of learning and developing as the world around them continues to
change.
Beyond its comprehensive scope, the Dictionary’s true value lies in
its methodology. It goes beyond providing Arabic equivalents for English terms
by delivering precise bilingual definitions contextualized within scientific
frameworks and international standards. In this way, it becomes more than a
book; it becomes an important knowledge tool.
Ultimately, this publication reflects the core mission of TAG.GDP,
providing sustainable digital education that not only prepares learners for the
future, but also equips them with the tools to understand and actively shape it.
