Agricultural Engineering Students Innovate in Wind Turbine Design and Renewable Energy Projects

As part of the Department of Agricultural Engineering and Modern Technologies’ commitment to hands-on learning, junior students (Third-Level) have successfully designed and installed functional wind turbines for electricity generation. The project was completed within the “Modern Technology Engineering” course under the expert supervision of Dr. Muaath Othman and Eng. Samar Al-Sulwi.
The project serves as a practical application of renewable energy concepts, allowing students to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world engineering. By engaging in the full lifecycle of the project—from design to execution—students developed critical technical skills while deepening their understanding of clean energy’s role in global sustainable development.
To foster innovation through competition, the students were divided into three collaborative teams. Each group developed a unique turbine model based on distinct engineering specifications, providing a valuable opportunity to compare mechanical efficiencies and refine their experimental techniques.
This achievement reflects our department’s dedication to providing an applied learning environment where students transform theoretical knowledge into tangible solutions.
The successful completion of these prototypes underscores the university’s leading role in preparing a new generation of engineers equipped to tackle future challenges in energy and advanced technology.
