Scientific Trip to Bastora Dam

On October 15th, 2023, the Surveying and Geomatics Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering at Tishk International University (TIU) organized a scientific trip to Bastora Dam, held under the supervision of Associate Professor Dr. Thamir Ahmed. This field trip was an integral component of the Hydrographic Surveying I Course, which is part of the curriculum for 4th-grade students and made possible through the hosting by KAR Group.

The purpose of this excursion was to impart an in-depth understanding of reservoirs, dam construction, and the crucial role played by hydrographic surveying in this domain. By immersing themselves in the Bastora Dam project, students had the invaluable opportunity to witness firsthand the intricacies and importance of hydrographic surveying within a practical context.

This educational endeavour helped equip the students with knowledge and experience that will undoubtedly benefit their future careers in the construction industry. The Surveying and Geomatics Engineering Department wishes to extend its appreciation to Associate Professor Dr. Thamir Ahmed and the dedicated engineers at KAR Group for their and collaboration, which played an important role in this trip.
