Two groups of students from Christian Alliance S.C. Chan Memorial College and Fanling Kau Yan College visited CEE on 3 July (Thursday). They jointly attended the programme talk hosted by Prof. Andy Y. F. Leung, Associate Head of CEE. They were being introduced the admission process for BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering and BEng (Hons) in Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Development programmes and recent developments of the civil engineering industry.
Christian Alliance S.C. Chan Memorial College
The group of 31 students visited the Noise and Safety Laboratory and Water and Waste Research Laboratory, where they gained a deeper understanding of the latest technology and research activities in noise elimination and water purification process through demonstrations of laboratory equipment. They all enjoyed the visit and found it was informative and cultivating.
Fanling Kau Yab College
The group of 18 students visited the Water and Waste Research Laboratory. In order to gain more hands-on experience regarding civil engineering, the students competed in the Tower Challenge: Engineering with Straws, Tape and Imagination where they were required to use their innovation to build a tower with only straws and tape. The winning team had set a new record by creating an 92 cm-higher tower.
The visit concluded with a sense of accomplishment and inspiration among the students from both schools. We look forward to hosting more such visits in the future, fostering a greater understanding of the vital role engineers play in shaping a sustainable world.
