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’. The “aging of underground sewer pipes has been reported by many researchers and municipality officials across the world.
