As part of efforts to strengthen the applied dimension of engineering education, the Department of Building and Construction Engineering Technologies organized a scientific field visit for second-year students to the Hammam Al-Alil Cement Plant, supervised and accompanied by Dr. Saleh and Dr. Omar Abdulwahab.

The visit aimed to acquaint students with the practical aspects of the various stages of cement production—beginning with the extraction and preparation of raw materials, followed by grinding and kiln processing, and concluding with packaging and quality control procedures. It also sought to introduce students to modern engineering technologies adopted in building-materials production plants, in addition to reinforcing their understanding of accredited standards in quality assurance and occupational safety.

This visit comes within the department’s plans to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application and to provide students with field experience that contributes to developing their scientific and professional competencies, thereby enhancing their readiness to integrate into the labor market in the future.
