Under the patronage of Professor Dr. Hassan Shaker Majdi, President of Al-Mustaqbal University, and in cooperation with the Women’s Affairs Division, the Women’s Affairs Unit at the Engineering Technical College / Department of Fuel and Energy Engineering Technologies organized an awareness activity in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education), on Monday, February 22, 2026.
The activity was titled:
“A Practical Application of the Smoke Point Test to Develop Laboratory Skills for Second-Year Students.”
The activity was delivered by Engineer Tabarak Mohsen Ashour to second-year students in the Department of Fuel and Energy Engineering Technologies.
The practical lecture included a presentation of the components of the Smoke Point apparatus and a detailed explanation of its operating procedures. Students then carried out the procedures themselves under direct supervision to ensure a thorough understanding of laboratory processes related to testing the smoke point of oils and fuels.
The activity also focused on strengthening the connection between theoretical knowledge and practical application, as well as developing students’ skills in handling precise laboratory equipment and accurately analyzing results, with an emphasis on adhering to safety procedures during experiments.
The activity aimed to enhance students’ practical skills, deepen their understanding of the physical properties of oils and fuels, and provide them with hands-on experience in evaluating fuel quality and performance under various operating conditions.
This activity falls within the pillar of empowerment and development and reflects the department’s ongoing efforts to improve students’ academic and practical competencies, while supporting applied education and scientific research in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.
