The role of the College of Engineering includes providing laboratories for training and exams, in addition to training students in various fields such as creating and editing presentations using PowerPoint, handling data using Excel, learning research skills using the internet, making and editing videos, Internet of Things projects, and programming self-driving cars. The number of students was 19 at the Abu Dhabi campus and 11 at the Al Ain campus.
Engineering students at the Abu Dhabi campus participated in the different aspects of the training program, including students Mohammad Khafash and Omar Al Kendi, under the supervision of laboratory engineers, enhancing the diversity and richness of the training experiences offered to the students. The training phase lasts for five months, ending at the end of October this year.
