Opening of new electrical engineering labs at TSU

On March 6, 2018 San Diego State University Georgia, in partnership with Tbilisi State University (TSU), officially opened fully equipped, state-of-the-art electrical engineering facilities at TSU building 11. The 1,700 square meter space includes classrooms, labs for computer and electrical engineering and work spaces, which are all equipped with the latest electrical engineering instruction technology. The design and components of all equipment, classrooms and labs are based on learning space criteria set by SDSU, providing students with the highest quality materials and better preparing them for a successful career in the electrical engineering sphere.

“Building capacity in STEM disciplines and improving the infrastructure of our partner universities is one of the two main goals of our programs in Georgia. We are very excited today as we host the opening of the electrical engineering labs at TSU. These are exact copies of the state-of-the-art electrical engineering labs in San Diego. These labs will help students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice and prepare them for a successful STEM career,” said Dean Güven.

A high level delegation visited the labs on the official opening day. MCC Managing Director Katerina Ntep, Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Georgia Aleksandre Tevzadze, TSU Rector Giorgi Sharvashidze, MCA CEO Magda Magradze and SDSU Georgia Dean Halil Güven toured the facilities and examined the new electrical engineering equipment, guided by SDSU Georgia students. “These labs are important for both universities because it’s necessary that students put theoretical knowledge into practical use,” said Ntep.
