Dubai, UAE: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is organising the second level of the 5th Future Engineer camp to build on the skills the participants gained in the first level. This is part of DEWA’s strategy to encourage the new generation to study scientific disciplines and motivate them to explore their skills and capabilities. In the first level, student learned the basics of electrical engineering, robotics, development of smart apps, and other scientific and practical applications. A total of 30 students in the 12-15 age group are taking part in the camp.

“The Future Engineer camp is an ideal platform to prepare students for promising careers, providing them with technical skills, and developing their scientific research skills and their innovation and creativity. It also motivates the new generation to learn science and technologies, and take education to new levels. This supports DEWA’s objectives to consolidate a knowledge environment that contributes to achieving the UAE Centennial 2071, which is a long-term government plan to prepare young Emiratis for the future. The Future Engineer camp takes into account the mental and age needs and requirements of the students. It ensures they gain the knowledge and experience in the easiest and most appropriate way for them, and brings science and technology closer to them through practical experiments and applications that contribute to preparing the next generation of scientists and creative minds to provide the future labour market with the necessary competencies and expertise,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

In the first level of the 5th Future Engineer Camp, DEWA organised an educational tour to the Jebel Ali Power Plant & Desalination Complex for participating students. They learned about energy production, turbine mechanism, how desalination plants operate, purification and sterilisation methods, and subsequent steps until it reaches the consumer.

The parents thanked DEWA and expressed their gratitude for its role in educating their children, developing their capabilities, and instilling concepts of innovation and creativity in their minds during the school holidays in preparation for a bright and promising future. They also stressed that the fun way the programme was taught encouraged them to register their children in the second level of the camp this December.
