As part of the summer training program for students of the College of Engineering and Engineering Technologies, a specialized field lecture was held under the title: (Control Systems and Electrical Control Panels for the Entire Building). The lecture was delivered by Engineer Salah Mahdi Aboud at an actual work site and in a practical manner aimed at enhancing the students’ hands-on experience. During the lecture, Engineer Salah addressed the design and operation mechanisms of control systems used in modern buildings, including lighting systems, elevators, water pumps, air conditioning, alarms, and emergency systems. He provided a detailed explanation of the technical functions of various electrical panels (MDB, SMDB, DB), how electrical loads are distributed, and how proper protection is ensured for each system. The lecture also covered reading electrical schematics and connecting them to real-world implementation, understanding the components of control panels, mechanisms of manual and automatic control, in addition to programming concepts using PLC systems and the integration of smart panels into modern building systems. The session was marked by strong student engagement, as they raised a number of questions reflecting their interest in delving deeper into this vital field and their eagerness to understand the relationship between design, implementation, and the actual operation of electrical systems. The activity was attended by the Director of the Al-Mustaqbal Center for Energy Research, Professor Dr. Sulwan Ubaid Waheed, who affirmed the Center’s continuous support for such field-based initiatives, which aim to prepare students for the job market by integrating theoretical study with practical application at real work sites.
As part of the scientific and practical program of summer training, an outstanding scientific lecture was delivered by Consulting Engineer Salim Jassim Hammoud Al-Rubaie, titled: (Bridging Theoretical and Practical Knowledge in the Real Work Structure and Mechanisms for the Success of Investment Projects and the Engineer’s Role in Achieving Them).** The lecture thoroughly addressed the importance of integrating academic study with field experience in the work environment, and how this integration contributes to shaping an engineer capable of making realistic decisions based on a comprehensive scientific and practical understanding. Engineer Salim emphasized the role of the engineer in leading work teams and understanding the requirements of investment projects in terms of cost, time, quality, and smart planning, noting that the success of any project does not depend solely on design, but also on the ability to implement it realistically and effectively in the field. The lecture also presented real examples of successful investment projects and explained the factors that contributed to their success, such as administrative organization, resource control, technical communication skills, in addition to the importance of teamwork and the spirit of initiative within the engineering team. The lecture was characterized by an interactive style, as students participated with a series of questions and contributions that reflected their desire to benefit from field experiences and deepen their awareness of the engineer’s real responsibilities in Al-Mustaqbal projects. This activity comes as part of a series of lectures and practical workshops organized by the Al-Mustaqbal Center for Energy Research, in an effort to bridge the gap between classrooms and the labor market, and to qualify students of the College of Engineering and Engineering Technologies to become effective contributors in the development and construction efforts of national and investment projects.
The summer training program for students of the College of Engineering and Engineering Technologies continues under the direct supervision of the almustaqbal Center for Energy Research. As part of the program, students participate in ongoing field visits to several actual work sites, allowing them to observe the practical realities of engineering projects and engage directly with the technical and administrative aspects of implementation he aim of this program is to enhance the students practical skills and connect them with real-world work environments, in alignment with labor market requirements and to contribute to building a well-qualified and trained generation of engineers. Several field visits have already been carried out in the presence of Professor Dr. Sulwan Obeid Waheed, Director of the Center, who emphasized the importance of this training project in refining students abilities and expanding their technical knowledge. He pointed out that moving between different sites allows students to gain diverse experiences and deepens their understanding of the engineer’s role in various areas such as planning, supervision, and execution. This training project has yielded significant benefits for the students, offering them a rare opportunity to closely observe work systems in both investment and governmental projects, interact with modern devices and equipment, and explore realistic implementation methods within an integrated professional environment. The almustaqbal Center for Energy Research reaffirms its commitment to continuing the support and organization of such high-quality programs, which play a key role in preparing students to enter the job market with competence and professionalism
