The School of Graduate Studies and Research continued its series of faculty colloquia for the 2016-17 academic year this month, this week featuring Prof. Tariq Shehab from the School of Engineering.
Prof. Shehab, a professor of civil and infrastructure engineering at AURAK, presented his research on an ‘Automated System for Inspection and Repair of Sewer Pipes’.
