Workshop: "Sustainability and Preserving the Available Resources at the College"

In line with the Faculty of Engineering at Shubra’s firm belief in adopting Egypt's Vision 2030 towards sustainable development and achieving sustainability goals to preserve the college’s resources and work in a clean environment while reducing environmental pollution, the college administration fully realizes that this goal cannot be achieved unless all college members share the responsibility for maintaining a clean environment and using clean energy sources.

Therefore, a workshop titled "Sustainability and Preserving the Available Resources at the College" was held on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at 1:00 PM under the patronage of the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Shubra. The workshop aimed to raise awareness among the college’s members (faculty staff, assistants, students, department directors, employees, and workers) about the concept of sustainability and the objectives of sustainable development.

Sustainability may be a new and modern field, but as a practice, it is as old as humanity itself. Ultimately, nothing lasts unless it is sustainable. Every culture that has survived through the ages has implicitly recognized and followed this organizing principle.

The workshop included two main lectures:

• The first lecture by Prof. Dr. Tarek Al-Hanawi from the Department of Architectural Engineering and Prof. Dr. Hanaa Abu Al-Majd from the Department of Natural Sciences focused on understanding the concept of sustainability.

• The second lecture by Prof. Dr. Ali Abdel Aziz, Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development, introduced the carbon footprint of college members and ways to reduce carbon emissions.

This training formed a comprehensive awareness among all college members across administrative and academic departments. It provided a thorough explanation of sustainability and preserving the college’s available resources.
