The Student
Activities Committee at the Communications and Networks Engineering Department,
in collaboration with the Deanship of Student Affairs, organized a field trip
to Schneider Electric on Tuesday, January 21, and Wednesday, January 22, 2025.
This visit provided students with a unique opportunity to gain firsthand
insights into industrial production processes.
The visit
focused on the production lines of various families of circuit breakers,
ranging from low to medium voltage. Students observed the manufacturing and
assembly processes of these essential electrical protection devices and learned
about their critical role in safeguarding power distribution systems.
Additionally, the tour provided a detailed explanation of how electricity is
transferred from the source to the final destination, highlighting the
technologies and systems used to ensure efficient and reliable power
distribution.
Students highly
appreciated the experience, as it enhanced their understanding of theoretical
concepts through real-world applications in the electrical energy sector. The
organizing committee also extended their gratitude to Schneider Electric for
their well-structured tour and warm reception, emphasizing the importance of
such visits in equipping students with practical knowledge that will benefit
their future careers.
This visit aligns with the Student Activity Committee’s ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration with leading companies in the engineering field, bridging the gap between academic studies and industry practices.
