Four Electrical Engineering student teams were recognized by the EE Department for winning 4 awards for the PI at the 4th IEEE-UAE Students’ Day competitions, which involved ten UAE Universities.
Osama Al Ameri, a Junior EE student, won the Second Place Award in the highly competitive “Made in the UAE Competition,” for his project “Photovoltaic Curve Tracer.” In recognition of its quality, technical value, and promise for the market his project was selected for participation and invited to be an entry at the professional category of “Made in The Arab World,” competition in Cairo, Egypt. This event involves many professional engineers and universities from the Arab world with the Petroleum Institute being one of only two universities from UAE.
Eisa Al Qubaisi, Nabil H. K. Hirzallah, Baraa Mohamed Chams Al Din Mohandes, Fares Imad Eddin Subh, and Oubay Imad Esbel, received Second Place Award in the Common Design Competition, for their project “Optical Transceiver.”
