According to Prof. Ahmed Muhaisen, this diploma is the first of its kind in Palestine in the field of designing buildings. The diploma is crucial, for it transfers the students from theoretical to practical knowledge.
The diploma of Energy-Efficient Building aims to provide the community with scientific competencies: graduates, engineers and supervisors who are specialized in designing buildings. In addition, it promotes creativity, innovation and integration between different engineering disciplines, which paves the way for producing sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings.
Furthermore, through this diploma, students will be kept pace with global trends in the construction industry, environmental conservation. Beyond that, it will aid find new jobs in the sustainable building industry as a suggested solution for alleviating the unemployment crisis in the Gaza Strip.
