ABU DHABI- Twenty-two Zayed University students visited two information technology, IT, companies in Germany to understand the modern methods used in designing and implementing innovative IT solutions to various business situations in different industries.
Organised by the Zayed University College of Technological Innovation, the students visited SAP, a German software company, and IBM, a computer hardware company, where they observed system applications and practice, and presentations and discussions led by experts.
The students also met with experts and influencers in face-to-face training sessions and learnt new ideas. Dr. Omar Alfandi, Assistant Dean for Students Affairs, said that students are more likely to understand industrial applications better in a practical format, and excel in major applications presented by the multinational software corporations.
"In IBM, we got to know of the new products and IT solutions, which are not yet in the market, and were proposed for big and global organisations such as BMW and German Aviation and Ports," said Leena Ali AlGhufli, a student specialising in Management Information Systems. "This was a great opportunity to experience real-world learning rather than just learning in class. I am glad I had a chance to meet with experts from both SAP and IBM," revealed Muna Abdulla Khamis Al Ali, a student from the College of Technological Innovation.
