I completed my master degree in Electronic Commerce, which considered as a multidisciplinary major that combines three different majors which are: Computer Science, Management and Law. In order to get my master degree in E-commerce, i conducted a project that titled "Electronic Ticketing in Public Transportation: Al Haramain High Speed Rail in Saudi Arabia". The project may be considered to be a proposal for an online electronic ticketing (E-ticketing) system, and if approved, it will become a part of a future project called “Al-Haramain High-speed Rail” in the western region of Saudi Arabia. My focus was on the importance of designing a professional website by the Saudi Railways Organization, which should contain the following features: multilingual communication website, QR code and cloud computing, and how those features will help passengers, especially for those who come from all over the world for the special annual event called Hajj. The project is completed after i successfully accomplished eight courses that are directly relates to my major which are: E-text Design Technical Issue for E-commerce Internet and Media Law E-government Database and Data mining Overview of E-commerce Policy Issue for E-commerce Research Methods It was also required to complete three months and a half internship work at any e-commerce project in any company around the world.
