- 3 years ago
During the academic year 2020/2021, the Core Curriculum Program at Qatar University's Deanship of General Studies launched a number of programmes to promote the university's innovation and digital transformation plan.
Integration of 3D modeling and printing technologies in certain university-required classes, such as creativity, leadership, and group engagement (UNIV 200) and mathematics in culture, is one of the program's initiatives (MATH 105). This is in accordance with the program's goal of unlocking students' innovation abilities and helping them grow their technical skills.
Such efforts help the university retain its position as one of the most respected institutions by enhancing its active role in the pursuit of excellence. Dean of General Studies, Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Al Kaabi, welcomed the effort and emphasized the importance of the Core Curriculum Program. The curriculum is critical in training students and equipping them with the necessary talents, knowledge, and competencies to fulfill the needs of society.
Prof. Sobh explained that the effort to incorporate design technologies and 3D printing into university requirements decisions was initiated to allow students to design, print, and model what they visualize in order to apply what they studied in theoretical principles and theories. It will also open up new doors and horizons for learning about other advanced technology and how to better use them.
She mentioned that the project's pilot implementation was focused on two courses that were introduced as one of the program's outputs during the growth phase, namely Innovation, Leadership, and Civic Engagement (UNIV 200) and mathematics in society.
