As part of the Technical Engineering College's efforts at Al-Mustaqbal University to promote practical engineering education, the Department of Building and Construction Engineering Technologies organized a scientific field visit for second-year students to the Babylon Towers Residential Complex in Babylon Governorate. The visit was conducted under the supervision and follow-up of the Dean of the College, Prof. Dr. Azhar Mohsen Abd, and the Head of the Department, Prof. Dr. Tariq Jawad Kazem.
The visit aimed to provide students with direct exposure to real-world construction projects and bridge the gap between the theoretical concepts acquired through academic lectures and their practical applications at construction sites.
The field tour included an overview of the various stages of residential building construction, with particular attention to foundation works and structural elements, including columns, beams, and concrete slabs. Students also observed reinforcement works, concrete pouring, the use of construction materials, and the implementation of architectural and structural drawings at the project site.
Furthermore, students explored infrastructure works, essential services, and occupational safety procedures adopted at construction sites. They also engaged in discussions and raised questions with the supervising engineering and technical teams, enhancing their practical knowledge and understanding of the responsibilities of civil engineers in the execution and management of construction projects.
The field visit was supervised by M.M. Mohammed Jawad Kazem, M.M. Duaa Falah Yousif, and Engineer Hassan Mohammed Abdulhamza.
This visit reflects the department's commitment to developing students' practical skills and enhancing their professional readiness in line with the requirements of the engineering labour market.
