Entering its second week, the intensive summer internship program for College of Engineering Technology students at Al-Mustaqbal University moved to a new practical field station. The halls and facilities of "Al-Mustaqbal University Teaching Hospital" hosted practical training dedicated to comprehensive mechanical systems, under the continuous supervision and follow-up of the "Al-Mustaqbal Energy Research Center," as part of the university's strategy to introduce students to large-scale engineering applications in critical infrastructure.
The second week featured an intensive focus on Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems of various types and capacities, which serve as the vital backbone of hospitals and medical centers. Students received detailed, on-site instruction regarding modern central systems, including chilled water systems (Chillers), Air Handling Units (AHUs), and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems. Additionally, they learned about air pressure control and isolation mechanisms in operating rooms and intensive care units to guarantee a sterile, healthy environment.
The training extended beyond air conditioning systems to include broad practical tours explaining other mechanical systems within the teaching hospital. Key areas covered included water pumping and distribution networks, medical waste drainage systems, and central medical gas networks, alongside gaining insight into fire protection, occupational safety systems, and generator operating mechanisms.
This field stage reaffirms the depth of Al-Mustaqbal University’s practical vision and its firm policy of utilizing its advanced infrastructure, medical facilities, and educational complexes as real-world laboratories for its students. Through this diverse training spanning renewable energy software in the first week and thermo-mechanical systems in the second the university aims to shape well-rounded engineers capable of fully understanding, designing, managing, and maintaining complex engineering systems immediately upon entering the job market.
The intensive training program will continue over the coming days to complete its scheduled itinerary,
