A group of Aramco students have participated in a chemical engineering hackathon hosted by University College London.
They joined the gathering of 75 participants separated into 15 student teams for an intensive weekend of innovation, collaboration and engineering excellence.
The teams were challenged to develop solutions around the theme of ‘Renewable Chemicals from Oil and Gas By-products.’
They were tasked with presenting a comprehensive process or flowsheet, identifying units involved, defining end products, and addressing considerations around safety, sustainability, and economics.
Aramco Europe Chief Human Resources Officer, Yousif Al Rashid, said: “Events like this reflect our ongoing dedication to providing students with meaningful opportunities to engage with real-world industry challenges and demonstrate their potential on a global academic stage.”
Aramco Europe’s Professional Development Unit supports more than 550 students pursuing their graduate and post-graduate studies in Europe, facilitating high-quality education in top institutions and equipping them with valuable skills and suitable roles in the company workforce following graduation.
While degree courses such as chemical and mechanical engineering remain a popular choice, many students are also now pursuing studies in areas such as artificial intelligence and materials science, reflecting the rapidly changing global energy landscape.
