Industrial Pharmaceutical Education Experience

On December 21st, 2025, fifth-grade students from the Faculty of Pharmacy at Tishk International University participated in an educational scientific trip to a Syringe Manufacturing Company. This visit, organized by Miss Dania Awni, formed part of the students’ practical learning activities designed to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world industrial applications.

Educational Objectives and Learning Focus

The visit aimed to provide students with comprehensive understanding of several critical aspects of medical device manufacturing:

Primary Learning Goals:

  • Industrial production processes specific to medical device manufacturing

  • Quality control measures and assurance protocols in pharmaceutical industries

  • Safety standards implementation within manufacturing environments

  • Regulatory compliance requirements for medical device production

Observational Learning and Practical Insights

During the facility tour, students had the opportunity to directly observe and understand:

Production Stage Observations:

  • Different manufacturing stages of syringe production from raw materials to finished products

  • Automated production lines and technological systems in operation

  • Quality assurance checkpoints throughout the manufacturing process

  • Packaging and sterilization procedures for medical devices

  • Inventory management and logistics within pharmaceutical manufacturing

Supervision and Academic Guidance

The scientific trip was supervised by experienced faculty members who provided essential guidance and contextual explanations:

Supervising Faculty:

  • Ms. Dania Awni – Trip organizer and primary coordinator

  • Dr. Esra Tariq – Providing technical explanations and academic context

  • Dr. Abeer Zuheyr – Facilitating connections between theory and practice

These supervisors guided students through the facility, offered detailed explanations of observed processes, and actively linked the practical observations with theoretical concepts learned in the classroom.

Enriching Academic and Professional Development

This industrial visit provided an enriching educational experience that significantly contributed to students’ comprehensive development:

Key Learning Outcomes:

  • Enhanced understanding of pharmaceutical manufacturing scales and processes

  • Practical application of quality control and assurance principles

  • Exposure to industry standards and regulatory environments

  • Career pathway insights within pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors
