IEEE Study Tour To Spain

This year’s IEEE student branch study tour trip took 18 engineering students from different disciplines to Spain, accompanied by two chaperones, Dr. AbdulRahman Al Ali from the Computer Engineer-ing Department and Mrs. Nevine Youssef from the Dean’s office. The participants visited Camp Nou, the FC Barcelona stadium and the renowned telecommunication company, Abertis. Later, the students were taken to the Collserola tower. After, the students visited SEAT, Schneider Electric Company and the fourth day was spent in the historical city of Toledo. The fifth day was spent touring Madrid, visiting its various museums, among which is the famous Prado museum. The sixth day took the students to the in-dustrial city of Bilbao for a visit to General Electric (GE). During the seventh and final day, fans of Real Madrid were particularly happy to visit the Santiago Bernabeau stadium. The day was spent in the shops of Madrid and touring the beautiful city!

Goodbye Kareem :( And welcome Grace :) Kareem came from Indiana to work as a volunteer in the IXO office from June 12 to July 13. He helped the IXO office and in return was happy to gain some work experience. He will go back to USA now and start applying to universities. Thank you Kareem and we wish you best of luck.

Grace is from Philippines and has been living in UAE for nine years. She comes to IXO from CAAD where she worked as an Administra-tive Assistant. “I love CAAD - my dealings with students, however at IXO I felt a gateway of advancement and it will open more students’ interaction for me not only limited to AUS but also to its international partner institutions.”
