A group of MCAST students recently visited the MCCAA Laboratory Services Directorate, where they had the opportunity to witness a series of tests related to construction materials. This visit aimed to raise awareness of scientific careers in the construction industry and highlight the importance of quality management systems in accredited laboratories.

During the visit, MCCAA experts demonstrated various testing procedures used to assess the quality, durability, and compliance of construction materials with industry standards. Students observed firsthand how rigorous testing ensures safety and reliability in construction projects.

The session also provided insight into the role of accredited laboratories in maintaining high industry standards through internationally recognized quality management systems. By experiencing practical applications of laboratory testing, students gained a deeper appreciation of how scientific knowledge contributes to the construction sector.

This initiative reflects the MCCAA’s commitment to fostering industry collaboration and supporting future professionals in the field.
