The event catered to the BAU Debbieh Electric Power and Machines program students, consisting of approximately 36 students and four instructors from different academic levels (2nd to 5th year). The students embarked on a visit to the Ibrahim Abdel-al Hydropower Plant, located in Bekaa, Lebanon. The journey from Beirut to the plant took around two hours, with the students enjoying the scenic route aboard the university bus. Upon arrival, they were warmly greeted by the plant's staff and guided through various sections, including transformers, generators, and protection equipment. Afterward, the students had the opportunity to explore the Qaroun Dam, primarily used for power generation. The visit lasted for about two hours before the students commenced their return journey, enjoying an hour-long breakfast and lunch break along the way. This event provided the students with valuable firsthand knowledge of power plant operations and the significance of hydroelectric power. They returned to their studies inspired, armed with new insights to apply in their electric power and machines pursuits.

The Micro-Mouse competition is a thrilling event where small robotic mice compete to solve a 3m x 3m maze. The competition has been around since the late 1970s and is popularly hosted in various countries, including the UK, USA, Japan, Singapore, India, South Korea, and Sri Lanka. The robots in the competition are fully autonomous and must find their way from the maze's starting point to the finish point. The mice must explore the maze, map out the paths, detect walls, and find the optimal route from the start to the finish. This competition will have two categories - Elementary and Senior. The Elementary category is for students under 15 years old, and they will compete in different mazes with varying difficulty levels. The Senior category will also compete in different mazes, and the difficulty level will increase from one maze to another. Agenda: The winner of the first place will receive a prize of $300, the second-place winner will receive $200, and the third-place winner will receive $100. Additional prizes include Best Design, Innovation, Rising All-Stars, and Best Algorithm. The registration fee for IEEE Members is $10, and for Non-IEEE Members, it is $15. The registration fee includes breakfast and lunch. To register, please complete the form and click on submit. Payment can be made through Wish Money to Mr. Ahmad Sharara 81/047743 or by OMT. If two members in a team are aged more than 15, the team is obliged to participate in the senior category; otherwise, the team should participate in the Elementary category.
