Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Society of Engineers marked Qatari Engineers Day Sunday, with the support and participation of the Ministry of Social Development and Family Affairs, and in cooperation with the College of Engineering at Qatar University.

Qatari Engineers Day is an occasion to celebrate and highlight the pivotal role of engineers in building a sustainable future and supporting Qatar National Vision 2030. It also underscores the Qatar Society of Engineers' pioneering role in launching national professional platforms that bring together decision-makers, academic institutions, and the labor market in a practical dialogue aimed at developing the engineering profession and empowering national talent.

Chairperson Qatar Society of Engineers, Eng. Amna Mohammed Al Naama told Qatar News Agency (QNA) that this celebration coincides with the Society's anniversary on January 25, 2007. She noted the achievements of Qatari engineers and their active contributions to all engineering sectors and the nation's development.

She explained that the celebration, in addition to showcasing the engineers' achievements, addressed the challenges they face, including the various engineering specialiations, labor market needs, the integration of artificial intelligence and new technologies into the engineering sector and their impact, as well as the field of cybersecurity.

She added that among the many achievements of the association, particularly during the past year, were those related to training and organising engineering conferences and forums. For example, the association launched the "Engineers Without Borders" program and its website, in addition to organising the Qatar International Facilities Management Conference and Exhibition, the LED Technology and Renewable Energy Exhibition last October, and other important events.
