The Faculty of Engineering conducts research that has relevance to Construction, Planning and Design. For example, some research is concerned with Power harmonics which are among the important factors that affect the safety of transmitting and transforming power. The main aim of this research is to construct and apply Active Power Filter to eliminate the low-order harmonics from the distorted system, with the aim of increasing the power quality of power systems. Other research areas are related to composite structures, seismic strengthening of structures and water hammer systems.
