Innovative projects displayed at AUS engineering competition

Industry experts, academics and students attended the College of Engineering (CEN) Open Day 2019 at American University of Sharjah (AUS) on May 1. The annual event, which displays CEN students’ senior design work with real industrial applications and prototypes, aims to promote and encourage the students to adopt innovative and sustainable approaches in their capstone design projects.

The competition reinforced CEN’s reputation as a center that fosters and encourages innovation and research with a wide range of exciting projects encompassing the six engineering disciplines offered at the university, including chemical, civil, computer, electrical, industrial and mechanical. The projects submitted provided a range of solutions to a wide range of challenges.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Naif Darwish, Acting Dean of CEN, said:

“It gives me great pleasure to see the excellent quality of work presented at the CEN Open Day for the 2019/2020 Academic Year. Judging the best from among the short-listed projects was a tough decision. In my opinion, all the projects were winners for the quality of the work presented this year is truly outstanding. CEN is known throughout the region for the high quality of its faculty members and students and I am pleased to see that the CEN Open Day is a reflection of that.

“I would like to thank all the faculty, staff, students, and the Office of Advancement and Alumni Affairs for organizing this event as well as the guest alumni judges and the sponsors for their generous support in making this event possible,” he added.
