Students of Kokushikan University from Japan visited Ajman University and agreed to exchange training students and visits

A delegation from the Department of Architectural Engineering of Kokushikan University in Tokyo, Japan, visited the Architectural Engineering Department at the College of Engineering in Ajman University of Science and Technology (AUST). The aim of this visit was to get acquainted with the lab tools and studio equipment used at the Department as well as the methods of teaching followed at the College and the ways of combining the theoretical information they receive in their classes with their field practices. The Japanese delegation, which was comprised of 21 students and 3 faculty members, were shown the premises of the College and given some explanations on samples of AUSTs student projects. They also raised questions on the architectural boom the UAE is experiencing and its impact on the Architectural Engineering Departments alumni.

The representatives of the two parties agreed at the end of the visit to exchange academic visits and training sessions on urban planning, sustainable development and the preferable environmental friendly ways of construction.
