As part of its ongoing commitment to academic enrichment and knowledge exchange, Future University in Egypt (FUE) hosted a distinguished architectural lecture at the Faculty of Engineering & Technology, delivered by Prof. Dr. Tamer El-Gabaly, Architectural Consultant and Designer. The lecture was held under the title “An Architect’s Ever-Evolving Journey: A Generative Methodology for a Redefined Architectural Vision”, and was attended by university leadership, faculty members, teaching assistants, students, staff, and individuals interested in architecture and design. During the lecture, Prof. El-Gabaly shared inspirational highlights from key milestones in his professional journey, shedding light on the achievements and turning points that shaped his successful career. The talk also addressed how architects can continuously evolve their design approaches in response to the rapidly changing architectural landscape. In addition, Prof. El-Gabaly introduced the concept of generative design and discussed its impact on redefining architectural vision through innovative methodologies and tools, supported by real-life professional examples. Prof. Dr. Tamer El-Gabaly is one of Egypt’s most distinguished architects. He studied Architecture at Ain Shams University, earned his master’s degree focusing on commercial atrium spaces between traditional and contemporary design, and later obtained his PhD in designing regional shopping centers and mixed-use developments. He founded El Gabaly Architects in 1994 and later established GEBAL Consultants in 2016 as a full-service architecture and engineering consultancy firm. This lecture reflects the Faculty of Engineering & Technology’s dedication at Future University in Egypt to bridging academic learning with professional practice, while inspiring students to embrace innovation and develop a forward-looking architectural vision.

As part of its commitment to supporting the educational process and strengthening the integration between theoretical knowledge and practical application, the Faculty of Engineering and Technology at Future University in Egypt (FUE) organized a scientific field trip for third-level students of the Mechanical Engineering Department to the New Administrative Capital Power Plant on Sunday, 8 February 2026. The visit was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Zakaria Mostafa Marouf, Instructor of the Thermal Power Systems course.Purpose of the VisitThe field trip aimed to enhance students’ practical skills and deepen their understanding of thermal power plant systems through direct exposure to one of the largest and most advanced power generation facilities in Egypt and the Middle East. The plant is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and major equipment supplied by Siemens, a global leader in power generation systems.About the Power PlantThe New Administrative Capital Power Plant operates using a Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) system with an air-cooled condenser. With a total installed capacity of 4,800 MW, the plant reflects Egypt’s adoption of advanced, high-efficiency technologies that contribute to reduced fuel consumption and minimized environmental impact.A Comprehensive Educational ExperienceDuring the visit, students gained valuable insights into:• The main components of combined cycle power plants• Operational mechanisms and advanced control systems• Protection and safety systems• Quality standards implemented in accordance with international regulationsSuch field visits play a vital role in preparing highly qualified engineers capable of meeting labor market demands and contributing effectively to national mega projects.The Faculty of Engineering and Technology extends its sincere appreciation to the management of the New Administrative Capital Power Plant for their warm welcome, generous hospitality, and fruitful cooperation, which made this valuable and enriching educational experience possible.
