Items Resources
• Classroom designed for theoretical
lectures and equipped for the traditional
and e-learning, the classroom allows
interaction between teacher and
students so that the estimated number
of students ranges from 30 to 40
students.
facilities • The seats of the classroom are moveable
(Classrooms, laboratories, exhibition rooms, to allow arranging a workshop group.
simulation rooms, etc.) • The classrooms contain ordinary and
smart blackboards.
• There should be a platform speaker with
integrated sound system and wired and
wireless microphones.
• There should be a connection to the
internet, a modern air conditioning
system and appropriate lighting.
Technology equipment
Computers and data show.
(projector, smart board, software)
Other equipment Determined later depending on the new
(depending on the nature of the specialty) circumstances.
