Amman: Faculty of Engineering students at the Middle East University (MEU) demonstrated their engineering ingenuity when presenting their projects in the field of engineering design integrated with the principles of environmental and social sustainability that give residents equal and fair proportions of response to multiple environmental factors.
Dr. Ayman Al Nsour, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, stated that the Civil Engineering and Renewable Energy Engineering students’ projects focused on addressing challenges related to urbanisation and population growth through innovative infrastructure projects, such as transport systems, water management, or waste treatment facilities.
The projects were presented by civil engineering students under the supervision of the Head of Department, Dr. Bayan Abu Safiya, and faculty members: Dr. Moatasem Darwish, Hadeel Al-Mahasneh, and Rawan Al-Ghanimat, who made significant contributions to the local community by presenting engineering designs that promote environmental balance, social justice, resource conservation, and green building. A group of students, in collaboration with the Studies Department of the Greater Amman Municipality, presented several proposals related to the crisis of high storm water levels and flooding in the Ras Al Ain area of downtown Amman and the Friday Market crisis, where they hosted expert panelists, namely the President of CDP International and the Head of the Civil Engineering Department at Al Hussein Technical University.
The Renewable Energy Engineering students’ projects were supervised by faculty member Dr. Mutasem Bani Mustafa in the presence of department head Dr. Samer Asaad and faculty members Dr. Awni Al-Jayousi and Dr. Moataz Al-Ghaziwat. A simulation system for a hybrid wind and solar energy storage system was put into operation to cope with the electrical and thermal consumption of a farm in the Al-Muwaqar area.
