ADU will also be supporting ADIPEC’s 12^thedition of the Young ADIPEC program, as part of its shared mission to build future youth capacities and empower tomorrow’s changemakers to play a central role in the global transition to a secure, equitable and sustainable energy future.

The Young ADIPEC program will take place under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, and with the support of the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK). The initiative aims to build youth capacities and empower tomorrow’s changemakers to drive the transition to a secure, equitable and sustainable energy future.

ADU is also contributing to the ADIPEC 2024 Methane Abatement Challenge, a competition that invites school students from across the UAE to propose solutions to reduce methane emissions. This challenge will focus on three key areas: flaring, venting, and fugitive emissions, and offers an ideal platform for young innovators to showcase their practical and impactful solutions that advance the global shift toward a safer and more sustainable energy future.

Visitors at the ADU stand can explore some of the latest projects by students from the College of Engineering. The projects on display reflect innovations in key areas related to the conference including sustainability, energy consumption, innovative approaches in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics among many others. 

Dr. Hamdi Sheibani, Dean of the College of Engineering at Abu Dhabi University (ADU), said: “ADIPEC 2024 offers an invaluable platform for showcasing our students’ innovation and talent while emphasizing Abu Dhabi University’s dedication to the UAE’s sustainability and energy goals. As the academic partner for Young ADIPEC, we are proud to support initiatives like the ADIPEC 2024 Methane Abatement Challenge and highlight student projects focused on sustainable solutions. At ADU, we continuously provide our students with advanced resources and programs, empowering them to excel as leaders and innovators in the evolving energy landscape.”

The Interior Design Department at ADU will also take part in the event, showcasing three sustainability-focused projects. These projects include the ‘Curvaceous Twist: A Sustainable, Parametrically Designed Bench,’ which offers a unique and dynamic seating experience with multiple seating positions to maximize comfort for everyone; the ‘Circular Solar Tree Bench: A Sustainable Urban Innovation,’ inspired by the efficient design and renewable energy concept of a solar-powered tree; and The ‘Parametric Design: Revolutionizing Urban Benches with Sustainability,’ a parametric design that moves beyond traditional geometric shapes and embraces organic, fluid, and harmonious forms. Furthermore, the Electrical and Computer Engineering students will present a project titled ‘Interactive, Low-Cost Energy Monitoring System for Homes Using Emoji Alerts.’ This energy monitoring system will have a simple touchscreen display on the home’s main electrical panel, which will showcase real-time energy use with emoji alerts to help users easily track and control their energy consumption.

ADU’s College of Engineering is the largest in the UAE and offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The university stand number 14050 can be found in Hall 13, where esteemed faculty members will provide an overview of ADU’s award-winning programs and facilities.
