Student's Scientific Society Activities
I am actively involved in undergraduate student research activities, and has been supervising the student's scientific society at the University of Sharjah.The students’ scientific society is an integral part of the learning process outside the classroom, in addition to its role in community services. Participating in the activities of this society enriches the students' academic experience, and gives them the opportunity to implement their creative ideas.
The main duties of the supervisor are:
1- Encourage, organize, and supervise students’ scientific activities.
2- Evaluate students' creative projects and their applicability, and then follow up the implementation.
3- Participate in scientific fairs and related activities inside and outside the university.
4- Write scientific articles related to students’ projects and activities in the media.
The followings are selected projects created, designed, and implemented by the members of the Student's Scientific Society in the university workshop.
1- Manual generator for charging portable devices and mobile batteries.
2- New design of solar oven (SunStove). 25 units were manufactured.
3- Electric field mapping apparatus: (new design).
4- Solar Boat project (10 ft long) a prototype for the first time in UAE.
5- Water Desalination by thermal solar energy (proposal)
