36 students attend Ashghal's‘ Future Engineer programme'
Doha
The Public Works Authority (Ashghal), in cooperation with Qatar Scientific Club, concluded the activities of the fourth edition of the 'Future Engineer programme', which extended over two weeks with the participation of 36 male and female secondary school students. The programme comes within the framework of Ashghal's keenness to support young energies and develop national competencies from the early stages, through purposeful community initiatives that contribute to building a knowledgeable and qualified generation of engineers and introducing students to the vital role that engineering plays in the national development process.
In its first week, the programme included field visits to a number of Public Works Authority departments, including the Engineering Services Department, the Quality and Safety Department, the Drainage Networks Operations & Maintenance Department, the Buildings Projects Department, and the Information Systems Department. Students had the opportunity to be introduced to the nature of engineering work in various sectors, through interactive tours, presentations, and applied workshops.
In the second week, participants moved to the headquarters of the Qatar Scientific Club, where they took part in a series of technical workshops and interactive training, during which they worked within teams to develop applied engineering projects simulating real needs, which helped them integrate theoretical concepts with practical skills and teamwork.
On the final day, students presented their final project models to a specialised committee that included a number of engineers and experts, where the ideas were evaluated in terms of creativity, feasibility, and ability to implement. The committee expressed its admiration for the level of engineering thinking and innovation among the participants, praising the teamwork spirit and commitment that was clearly evident in the projects presented.
The Public Works Authority expressed its pride in the success of the programme, appreciating the students' commitment and interaction, and the fruitful partnership with the Qatar Scientific Club, which contributed significantly to achieving the goals of this edition.
Ashghal also confirmed its continued support for educational initiatives that contribute to empowering the next generation and building a knowledge-based community of innovation and active participation.

Ashghal, QSC train school students through ‘Future Engineer' programme
QNA Doha The Public Works Authority (Ashghal), in collaboration with Qatar Scientific Club (QSC), launched the fourth edition of the 'Future Engineer' programme, which targets high school students, with the aim of familiarising them with the various specialisations and fields of engineering by offering several workshops in engineering disciplines to highlight their importance and advantages. Running until July 23, the programme offers participants a rich engineering curriculum delivered through specialised workshops and site visits across various Ashghal departments, as well as hands-on project work in the laboratories and departments of the Qatar Scientific Club. During the first week, students received both theoretical and practical training through visits and hands-on experiences, including exposure to the daily operations of departments such as Engineering Services, Information Systems, Quality and Safety, and Building Projects. They also tour the Assets Sector building to learn about wastewater and road network monitoring and the role of technology in asset operation and maintenance. The second week took place at Qatar Scientific Club, where students engaged in workshops and applied their knowledge in innovative projects addressing real-world engineering challenges in Qatar. Training sessions covered basic engineering concepts, teamwork, creative thinking, project planning and management, communication and presentation skills, and the use of 3D digital fabrication tools for building prototype models. Activities include team building, project planning, prototype design, technical sessions on cutting-edge construction methods, and the development of engineering foundations for the student projects. The programme is designed to develop students' engineering skills and equip them with practical knowledge to help shape their future career paths within an engaging and interactive learning environment.
