THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY (IET) PRESENT AROUND THE WORLD (PATW) 2019  SULTANATE OF OMAN QUALIFYING COMPETITION

On Monday, 17 June 2019 The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), under the initiative of Mr Arnold Santos, held the “Present Around the World” Sultanate of Oman Qualifying Competition at Modern College of Business and Science in Muscat. This qualifying competition is aimed to get the Oman representative for the GCC Regional Competition, which is tentatively set be held in either July or August 2019; with the host country still not finalised. The winner of the Regional Competition will be sent to the global competition, which is to be held in Greece.

The Oman Qualifying Competition has 11 contestants coming from Ibri College of Technology, Nizwa College of Technology, Ibra College of Technology, Shinas College of Technology, Military Technological College, Gulf College, and Modern College of Business and Science.

Ibri College of Technology sent two student representatives: Ms Carmel Ghani (Presenter No. 1) and Ms Omaima Hafedh Al-Shaibani (Presenter No. 9). They were accompanied by two staff members, Mr Abdul Hafeez Sajid and Mrs Lizette Ivy C. Pascual.

The First Place Winner was from Nizwa College of Technology, Second Place from Shinas College of Technology, and Third Place from Modern College of Technology.

Even though IbriCT representatives did not win, it was a fruitful and meaningful experience for them. They learned a lot from the presentations and presenters. It encouraged them and made them realise the areas where they can improve in, to become better presenters and versions of themselves.
