Today, Rwanda Polytechnic – Karongi College commemorates the 32nd anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, paying special tribute to the former staff and students of the then EAFO Nyamishaba and ETO Kibuye schools, and to the Tutsi who were killed in Nyamishaba where they had sought refuge.

Remember, unite, renew.

Connecting classroom theory with real industrial practices, in collaboration with
AFD - Agence Française de Développement LuxDev - Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency and Expertise France through the AFTER II Project, yesterday, our Year 2 Students from Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department strengthened their practical knowledge of renewable energy technologies through an insightful study visit to the Nyabarongo Hydro Power Plant.

During the visit, students had the opportunity to explore key operational areas of the plant, including the dam and the powerhouse, where they observed firsthand how water is collected, controlled, and converted into electrical energy.

This field experience enabled them to deepen their understanding of hydropower generation systems, from water intake and turbine operation to electricity production and transmission.
