Practical Learning Experience

On May 10, 2025, the Architecture Engineering Department organized a field trip to Abu Shahab City for second-stage students as part of their Building Construction course. The site visit provided students with direct exposure to active construction sites, enabling them to connect theoretical knowledge with practical application.

Academic Supervision

The educational excursion was led by:

  • Mr. Carol, Course Lecturer

  • Ms. Lin, Research Assistant

  • Ms. Zainab, Research Assistant

On-Site Learning Activities

During the visit, students engaged in:

  • Examination of active construction projects

  • Observation of building materials and their applications

  • Study of structural details and construction techniques

  • Analysis of construction methodologies in real-world settings

  • Discussion of architectural design implementation

Interactive Learning

The field trip facilitated:

  • Direct questioning with construction professionals

  • Detailed note-taking and documentation

  • Group discussions with instructors and peers

  • Real-time problem-solving observations

  • Hands-on understanding of construction processes

Educational Outcomes

This practical experience provided 49 students with:

  • Enhanced comprehension of construction methods

  • Better understanding of structural engineering principles

  • Real-world application of classroom theories

  • Insight into construction problem-solving approaches

  • Clarification of complex theoretical concepts

The field trip successfully demonstrated how architectural designs transition from concept to reality, giving students valuable exposure to practical construction challenges and solutions.
