On behalf of the university president, Dr. Osama Nusair, the Vice President for Scientific Colleges and Engineering, Professor Dr. Ahmad Al-Alaunah, sponsored the fifth scientific day of the College of Engineering titled "Green Engineering," attended by university vice presidents, university board member Aref Al-Jaraideh, Dean of Student Affairs Dr. Saif Al-Shabeel, and several representatives from official institutions and the private sector at Prince Hassan Auditorium at the university.
The representative of the scientific day sponsor, Professor Dr. Ahmad Al-Alaunah, stated that the university holds much hope for a better future and that its administration is determined to be an effective partner in the journey of sustainable development by enhancing and improving outcomes to meet the aspirations of the nation's youth and its leader. He emphasized the university's adoption of a policy of openness to industry to equip its graduates with the necessary skills to keep pace with the rapid changes in the labor market, believing that the university's success lies in succeeding in its mission to build a generation of graduates capable of bearing responsibility and uplifting society.
The Dean of the College of Engineering, Professor Dr. Muayid Al-Shouaqfeh, mentioned that the convening of the scientific day reflects the college's and the university's renewed commitment to interacting with contemporary issues and their shared responsibility regarding the challenges representing a global environmental crisis for all sectors. It also reflects the college’s vision for green engineering to achieve environmentally viable outputs and employ science and knowledge to serve the community, as it contributes to enhancing local and regional development.
The Director General of the Royal Geographic Center, Major Engineer Ma'mar Haddadin, stated that the center aims, through geographic information systems—which are the core in surveying and producing various types of maps—to establish a digital ecological system based on collecting and analyzing geographic data, using green engineering that contributes to achieving many sustainable projects, such as site analysis, environmental modeling, as well as tracking the long-term effectiveness of engineering projects that would sustain the geographical environment in Jordan.
Haddadin added that the geographic center, by integrating artificial intelligence technologies in geospatial studies, has worked on changing the way geographic information is analyzed and managed, providing a reference platform for all national institutions conducting comprehensive studies and strategies that assist technicians and researchers in making decisions related to managing and protecting natural resources using data collected by satellites.
Dr. Muhammad Al-Nuaimi, Regional Director of Al-Alaunah Exchange Company, said, "We are very proud to participate with you to contribute and highlight the importance of sustainability for community development and enhancing the role of youth. Our participation in this event is based on our belief in supporting scientific research and elevating national interests," indicating that Al-Alaunah Company serves as a model in the exchange sector.
During the scientific day sessions, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Dr. Jihad Al-Mohammedi, discussed the natural, human, and geographical reasons for the scarcity of water resources in Jordan, referring to the national water strategy and the ministry’s adoption of innovation and expansion in water uses, outlining the pioneering projects that the ministry intends to implement next year to address water issues in Jordan.
Engineer Tha'er Al-Momani, Assistant Secretary-General of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation for Technical Affairs, referred to the water situation and drinking water sources in Jordan and methods to مواجهة the existing water supply deficit and the deterioration occurring in groundwater basins.
Meanwhile, the Executive Director of Transport and Infrastructure Projects at the Greater Amman Municipality, Engineer Riyad Al-Khreibsheh, affirmed that knowledge and experience are what the graduate and practicing engineer need for their work, referring to planning sustainability and resource sustainability and transport between cities and how to plan for it. He also discussed local governance and its relation to local councils, highlighting the work of municipalities and the necessity of utilizing available resources and enhancing their professional efficiency.
Dr. Waleed Hamad, an energy expert, talked about energy uses and management, renewable energy, and how to reduce waste and optimize energy utilization.
Engineer Muhammad Al-Khalidi, president of Delta Pyramids Company and a graduate of the Energy Engineering Department at Al-Bayt University, generously donated two photovoltaic energy systems, one educational and the other with a capacity of 3.25 kW connected to the grid for the benefit of the College of Engineering.
In conclusion, Dr. Al-Alaunah honored several supporters and participants with appreciation shields, then attended the opening of the engineering exhibition held alongside the scientific day, which featured several training institutions, energy companies, and factories, including the graduation projects of engineering students and the innovations of students from the college in terms of models and drawings.
Engineer Muhammad Aqil Al-Khalidi presented two energy systems as a gift to the Energy Engineering Department.
