UAE 40th National Day Celebration

The UAE National day, which falls on the 2nd of December, is a very special day in the year. The UOS IEEE SB celebrated that day on the 29th of November. The event took place in the Engineering College building. The place was filled with balloons and flags and the sound of national songs and the classy scent of local Bokhour. Students were served arabian coffee, and chocolates coated with the UOS IEEE logo and the UAE national flag. Students who attended the event, joined us in writing on a big board words of praise, which expressed our loyalty and love to the United Arab Emirates.

Robotics Workshop

Building robots may sound like a very complicated topic, but on November 27th, University of Sharjah students learned how to build them. It was a good opportunity for electrical and computer engineering students to learn the fundamentals of Robotics, and to explore the fascinating world of Robotics. As it has been a tradition by the UOS IEEE Student Branch & IEEE Robo UOS club, we continued delivering the Lego NXT robotics workshops. This time, the workshop was delivered by Ahmad Salhin (who was once just a participant) along with some help from Rami Shublaq and Malik Salah. The workshop included a presentation about the complexity of robots, the different mechanical and electrical components (LEGO MINDSTORM components), and finally, putting it all together and programming the newly created robot. The participants were excited and had really enjoyed the workshop, as it was their first time to create and interact with such devices.
