Engineer Tabarak Mohsin Ashour conducted a practical lecture for second-year students on the Smoke Point device, during which the components of the device were displayed and its operation explained in a detailed and hands-on manner. After the theoretical explanation, the students operated the device themselves under the engineer’s supervision to ensure their full understanding of the device’s functioning and the practical procedures followed during the smoke point test for oils and fuels. The purpose of this practical lecture was to enhance students’ applied understanding and link theoretical knowledge to practical skills, helping them develop proficiency in handling precise laboratory instruments and analyzing results accurately. The workshop also contributed to improving the students’ scientific competence and providing them with essential hands-on experience in the field of fuels and energy, while emphasizing adherence to safety procedures during laboratory experiments. The lecture resulted in strengthening the students’ ability to operate the Smoke Point device and correctly analyze the results, reflecting their understanding of thermal processes and the physical properties of oils and fuels. It also provided the students with practical skills in testing fuel quality and evaluating its performance under different operating conditions. This experience aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting quality education and practical skills, ensuring optimal use of industrial resources, and encouraging environmentally responsible practices in the energy sector.
