Merging Architecture and Aviation for Work Experience Week

Going into the year, I was highly anticipating the work experience week as I could finally get a picture of what I wanted to pursue in my future career. I was struggling to decide between my 2 passions, Architecture and Aviation. I always knew architecture had an edge and I knew that I would search harder for it and thus, I did, I found the perfect opportunity at Dar Al Handasah, an engineering firm with an architecture department. I had begun work on Sunday, the 28th of April and it ran through until Thursday, the 2nd of May. They had assigned me a project to build design a venue at the Expo 2020 site and so I had began, They showed me all the fundamentals and research that I had needed to create a “pitchable” presentation of the venue. Through the week I had worked and developed my project with the aid of the experienced staff.  

Daoud has spoken to parents and students about his experience. He presented at a student assembly where he inspired students about the possibilities and the successes he had during work experience week.
