Students in the Sustainable Architecture course at Ajman University presented their Water Conservation Poster projects before an external evaluation panel, marking a collaborative initiative with Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities. The event was attended by Dr. Mona, who oversees the course and organized the juried assessment.
Dr. Mona invited Dr. Heba Aboukhousa of Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities to serve as an external juror for evaluating the students' poster projects. The collaboration brought an independent academic perspective to the assessment process, reinforcing the course's emphasis on real-world sustainability challenges.
The Water Conservation Poster projects challenged students to translate sustainable architecture principles into visually compelling advocacy materials addressing one of the region's most pressing environmental concerns. As part of the Sustainable Architecture course curriculum, the assignment combined design thinking with water resource management — a critical priority for the UAE.
Dr. Heba Aboukhousa's participation as an external juror reflects growing inter-institutional cooperation between Ajman University and Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities in advancing sustainability education. Her expertise provided students with valuable feedback from outside their immediate academic environment.
The juried evaluation highlighted Ajman University's commitment to experiential learning and cross-disciplinary engagement, preparing future architects to address water scarcity through both design practice and public awareness.
