CEE Research Impact Exhibition cum Alumni Reunion Reception
As one of the events celebrating its golden jubilee, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) held the Research Impact Exhibition cum Alumni Reunion Reception on 18 March 2023 (Saturday).
The successful event attracted more than 130 participants, bringing together students, staff, alumni and friends of CEE to RECONNECT and share their insights regarding CEE'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, also expressed his joy and made remarks on CEE’s milestones as well as achievements.
The exhibition showcased the research outcomes of projects that are of societal impact, including six cutting-edge civil engineering-related research projects led by our professors. Through exploring the functional exhibits and interacting with our researchers, participants gained deeper knowledge of CEE’s research outputs in real life.
