Students from the Civil Engineering Department visited the Jebel Ali Sewage Treatment Plant, one of the two main treatment facilities in Dubai, on November 2, 2021. The visit was an excellent opportunity for the students to observe a very-well designed plant and relate its construction and performance to the theoretical concepts studied in their Water and Wastewater Engineering courses and related subjects. This visit and similar activities are very much in line with the School of Engineering’s efforts to strike a balance between theoretical foundations and real-world applications across all programs of study, thus providing students with an effective and practical learning environment that aligns with the needs of the UAE.
