Learning and Teaching Strategies

استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم

Strategies

This course focuses on providing the students with an overview of the Natural Gas (NG) sector. NG finds immense usage in domestic, transportation, fertilizers & other industrial sectors. Accordingly, this course incorporates two modules.

The first module will be on City Gas Distribution (CGD), entailing the construction, operation, and maintenance of natural gas distribution systems for the supply of piped natural gas to industrial, domestic, commercial and transportation sectors. The likely voluminous growth of CGD infrastructure requires competent professionals and skilled workforce to execute the projects successfully. Thus, there is a need to identify the gaps in knowledge and develop the skill set required for professionals to groom them for such domains. This in turn, will pave the way for establishing strong energy network within the country.
