Interior Design Engineering Students Participate in a Specialized DIALux evo Lighting Design Workshop

On Monday, November 9, 2026, fourth-year students from the Department of Interior Design Engineering at Cihan University–Erbil participate in a specialized workshop on lighting design using DIALux evo software, held at the DIALUX Lighting Showroom in Erbil.

The workshop was supervised by Lecturer Asmaa Ahmed Jaff. The students were welcomed by Eng. Karwan Ahmed and Eng. Adnan Ramadan, lighting design engineers at DIALUX Lighting.

During the workshop, Eng. Adnan Ramadan introduced the participating students to the fundamental principles of lighting design, including different lighting types and their applications and essential photometric concepts such as lumens and lux. He also demonstrated the practical use of DIALux evo software, explaining how to create lighting layouts, perform lighting calculations, and apply appropriate lighting solutions to interior spaces.

The participating students actively engaged in the workshop activities, gaining valuable practical knowledge of modern lighting technologies, lighting fixtures, material selection, and the integration of functional and aesthetic lighting elements into interior environments. They also had the opportunity to explore professional lighting design applications and develop a better understanding of the technical processes involved in lighting planning and simulation.

The workshop represents an important step in strengthening the relationship between academic education and professional practice, It provided fourth-year students with valuable industry exposure and practical experience to support their future careers and interior design projects.
