This spring, @LAUengineering students stepped outside the classroom to design power, lighting, and low-current systems for the Zakrit-Amchit heritage building. Partnering with @amchitmunicipal, they balanced technical requirements with heritage preservation, then presented their work to faculty, municipality representatives, and industry partners. Read the full story to see how the project came together.

A multidisciplinary team of LAU engineering students won first place in the Lebanese Solar Energy Society's Engineering Students Final Year Project Renewable Energy Contest, held at the Order of Engineers and Architects in Beirut.
Industrial engineering students Bechara Saliba and Cedra Al Zein, together with mechanical engineering students Georges Maacaroun and Anthony Farha, designed a fully integrated electric bus system connecting Byblos and Beirut. Their project addressed passenger demand forecasting, route planning, operating schedules, and a solar PV-powered charging facility sized to meet the fleet's full energy demand.
The team collaborated with the UNDP Sustainable Transport Program for real transportation data and used Lebanese Solar Energy Society funding to access advanced simulation tools.
Three of the eight finalist projects at this year's contest came from LAU. Congratulations to the winning team and to all the finalists who represented LAU at the competition.

A team of LAU engineering students has developed DiaBEAT, a fully integrated, non-invasive glucose monitoring and insulin delivery system for diabetes patients.
The system combines three connected modules: a bracelet that tracks glucose through the skin using near-infrared light emission and transmits data via Bluetooth, a belt that receives this data and automatically administers personalized insulin doses, and a mobile application that gives patients real-time visibility into glucose levels, insulin injections, meals, history, and device battery status.

A new government-university partnership will give Beirut residents a daily air quality index — a concrete response to research showing that 85–90% of deaths in Lebanon stem from non-communicable diseases, including those linked to air pollution. The initiative, announced by the Ministry of Environment during an LAU-hosted panel discussion, comes as Lebanon grapples with compounding environmental challenges worsened by the absence of a functioning public power grid. The engaging talk featured Environment Minister Tamara El Zein and drew students, industry leaders and academics with an interest in this critical issue.

Five interdisciplinary LAU students joined young Europeans in Spain for a powerful exchange through Sea Saves Your Planet, a youth-led Erasmus+ initiative centered on marine protection, teamwork, and cross-cultural collaboration. They exchanged ideas, tackled environmental challenges alongside peers from four European countries, and developed new projects inspired by their time abroad. As the only representatives from the Middle East, they brought Lebanon’s voice to the global conversation on sustainability, returning with initiatives that aim to strengthen ocean conservation back home.
