As one of the events celebrating the golden jubilee of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), CEE Research Impact Exhibition cum Alumni Reunion Reception was successfully held on 18 March 2023 (Saturday).
The event attracted more than 130 participants, bringing together students, staff, alumni and friends of the Department to RECONNECT and to share their insights on the Department’s latest research outcomes. Prof. Xiangdong Li, Dean of FCE, addressed the audience in a welcoming speech, while Prof. Chi Sun Poon, Head of CEE, expressed his joy by sharing the milestone and achievements of CEE to the participants.
The exhibition showcased the research outcomes of projects that are of societal impact, six cutting-edge civil engineering related research projects led by our Professors were exhibited. Through exploring the functional exhibits and interacting with our researchers, participants were able to gain deeper knowledge on how the research outputs were implemented into real life.
