The association seeks to achieve its goals through a wide range of activities, most notably providing technical, engineering, and agricultural consultations, and harnessing the university's capabilities in the fields of agriculture, industry, education, and health to serve the community. The association also pays special attention to providing equal opportunities for people with special needs, offering programs and projects to develop administrative skills and spread awareness of various sciences.
In the environmental field, the association plans to establish projects and exhibitions for environmentally friendly industrial and agricultural products. It also aims to provide job opportunities for graduates through projects in support services and security, and to provide trained and skilled workers to serve the university's various sectors.
