RIYADH: The Technical Trainers College (TTC) recently held an exhibition that showcased the projects of 170 students at its campus at Ar-Rayyan district in the Saudi capital.
“The guests were impressed with the students’ projects which included showcases of the production of electrical power with the use of renewable energy,” said Dr. Thomas Fisch, head of TTC’s Vocational Pedagogy Department.
The exhibition was entitled “Complex Teaching and Learning Arrangements — Teacher Education in the Kingdom, Today and Tomorrow.”
The exhibition was attended by guests from the Diriyadh-based Saudi Electronics and Home Appliances Institute (SEHAI), Riyadh Polytechnic Institute (RPI), other invited guests and TTC staff and alumni.
Dr. Fisch, who was one of the trainers, said that the works of the students drew favorable feedback from the visitors who were also impressed with the workshops.
“The students spent almost two years in teacher training and showed many great examples of project development and technological visualization methods for teaching difficult topics,” he said.
He added that “in reality, each student was a winner by showcasing their innovative projects and professional expertise to the public.”
One of the visitors said that he was particularly impressed with one of the projects that produced electrical power with the use of renewable energy: “This is a project that is of current relevance and importance. It is in accordance with the government decision to veer away from the oil economy which underlines the Vision 2030 plan.”
In other words, he said, the “TTC is training students to be partners of the Kingdom as it implements its vision for the 2030 plan.”
The project belonged to Abdulelah Hakami who said: “The training I had prepared me for the project. And now that i’m finished, I feel a great sense of self-fulfillment.”
Dr. Rainer Rainer Gerke, a TTC lecturer, supervised most of the students’ projects. On the other hand, the jury for the projects composed of Mohammad Al-Omran, head of Public and Private Cooperation; Victor Eid, vocational pedagogy lecturer; and Christoff Wiethoff, TTC marketing and communication head.
