For the third consecutive year, Prince Sultan University (PSU), through the ID458 course in the Interior Design Department at the College of Architecture and Design, collaborated with Nassli LED Factory to strengthen the connection between academic learning and professional practice in lighting design.
In both the first and second years, students conducted a field trip to Nassli LED Factory. In the first year, they developed a lighting design project for the Ministry of Interior office in the Hail Region. In the second year, they participated in a collaborative project with KPMG, gaining exposure to professional lighting design within a global corporate environment.
This year, the collaboration continued through a virtual workshop on DIALux software, providing students with hands-on experience in lighting simulation and professional design tools. Students gained valuable insight into real-world design processes, interacted with industry professionals, and learned how design concepts are developed and implemented in professional settings.
Both Prince Sultan University and Nassli LED Factory emphasized the importance of this partnership in equipping future designers with practical skills and industry knowledge. This initiative reflects the university’s ongoing commitment to experiential learning and building meaningful industry connections for its students.
