The Global Graduate Exhibition, the forum that opened yesterday, and which is being held within the Dubai Design Week, presents nearly 100 innovative projects in the disciplines of design, technology and engineering, through an interactive online exhibition of projects for university students.
The ideas presented within the exhibition come from accurate academic research conducted by university graduates under the supervision of their professors. Rates of emergency emergency cases in our communities.
Emerging Trends
The selected projects revolve around five of the most prominent emerging trends, noting that the number of applications has reached 1,600 from 270 universities in 60 countries, and the directions for the projects include facilitating life with disease and disabilities, adapting to the complex world, saving and protecting the lives of people at risk, and getting rid of Accumulated planet waste, preserving the urban experience.
The projects presented varied, including the one presented by Noura Al-Suwaidi, who worked with her friend on a project based on a website, which is accessed by photographing the site's code, which helps children with autism, and facilitates their way of communicating with others.
Al-Suwaidi pointed out that the site contains clouds shapes, and every cloud inside it expresses something the child needs, some clouds speak about the need for food, and the site contains the possibility of audio recording, as it allows the child to choose the nature of the foods that he will eat, including breakfast, lunch and dinner And snacks and drinks, or his need for some moral matters, including love, affection and cuddling, stressing that they are intended for children.
Al-Suwaidi explained that before launching the idea of the project, it was based on a state of autism, which made the site subject to development, as preparation for the site took nearly three months of work, while the main difficulties were represented by the Corona pandemic and the difficulty of daily communication to prepare for the project.
Solar energy
For her part, Egyptian Shahd Omar, a design graduate from the German University in Cairo, presented a design that is a light that works on solar energy, which is intended for rural areas that suffer from power outages, noting that he is able to light for up to 12 hours if the light is dim. , While it reaches eight hours when it is radioactive.
She pointed out that the external shape of the design has been completed in a way that is easy to use, as well as easy to assemble, carry and place in outdoor places, or hang it or even carry it in the hand, noting that its use on energy allows it to be charged during the day, because these areas are characterized by high temperature.
While the graduate from the German University in Cairo, Maryam Fayed, presented a project along with a number of female students, entitled "Recycling Camp for Children", which carries the concept of developing awareness among young people about the concept of recycling, by creating a camp that extends over four Days, and it is directed to specific age groups, and it will be located near the Nile, and allows them to sort the waste that needs to be recycled, and thus through the program the waste is sorted through three methods, including what can be presented in the fashion field, such as making bags from waste or machines Musicals and other merchandise sold in the camp.
She pointed out that the ages ranged from seven to 14 years, and that the program allows them to learn how to solve the problems they face, through the site that provides them with messages from the school.
"Remote monitoring"
While the graduate Mustafa presented a project entitled "Remote Monitoring of Alzheimer's Patients", and pointed out that the project is an application intended for people who take care of Alzheimer's patients, and this application is interconnected with a group of smart devices in the home, and allows control of all the details of the patient's life, Including opening the curtains, preparing coffee, and times for medication.
He pointed out that they did a lot of research before developing this application, and they were based on the information they got from people who care for people with Alzheimer's, indicating that the application is subject to development, and it is also subject to personalization, so that it allows taking three-dimensional pictures of the home, and is entered into the application Also, it can be closely linked to all applications and devices in the home.
For her part, the Armenian Marie Karajkian, a graduate engineer at the University of Sharjah, participated in the exhibition through the "Aquaponics Restaurant to Table" project, which she implemented with her colleagues, and pointed out that the project is based on a study in Morocco about their consumption of about 80% of the country's water resources Agriculture, indicating that the project is working to rebuild the hydropower potential in developing a scenario for depleted water resources.
She noted that the project is based on the reuse of abandoned quarries to build a collective restaurant for Aquaponics, considering that the proposed architectural solution is a farm-to-table system, combining production and consumption processes in the same space.
Rich diversity
"The exhibition reflects the rich diversity that the young talented research community embraces, with entries spanning six continents, including Ivy League universities, regional colleges and various disciplines from bio-engineering to architecture," said exhibition director Tadeo Baldani Caraveri.
He added: “The common denominator that brought the graduates together is the pursuit of confronting environmental and social challenges that concern all societies. This year we have reviewed more than 1,600 student projects, so that a selection is made on a set of ideas directed to address the most pressing issues, and to identify global problems that have an increasing impact. Negative impact on many societies ».
He pointed out that the participating projects are essentially alternatives and solutions created by the global graduate community, which aspires to prepare a world that keeps pace with future changes.
Project directions include making life easier with disease and disability, and adapting to a complex world.
