Educational field trips help teachers widen their horizons of knowledge and broadening the scope of their syllabus by connecting the classroom with real-life and authentic experience. 46 students from Our lady of Lourdes accompanied by 3 teachers visited the University on Tuesday 7th September 2021.The students had a chance to tour the university facilities, faculties and departments.

They were taken for a brief tour in the University library where they went through all the sections of the library and the category of books available in the library. The students were also able to see the lecture theater and got a feel of how classes are in the University.

During the career guidancesession, a representative from the marketing department gave them helpful career tips and a brief summary of the faculties and courses offered at DeKUT. A representative from the Public Relations department spoke to the students on discipline and dedication in their studies. The students seemed very interested in some of the courses offered as they enquired about them and their queries were answered to their satisfaction.

Thereafter they visited the various labs such as food science, food nutrition, industrial chemistry, leather technology and ADMACT Labs where they were taken through the various programmes under each lab they visited by the technologist and they were able to learn a lot about them.The day was a success as the students were well equippedwith useful information and we got a lot of positive feedback from the teachers as well as the students.
