Stewards MKMCF Ma Ko Pan Memorial College

A group of 31 students from Stewards MKMCF Ma Ko Pan Memorial College visited CEE on 3 July 2024 (Wednesday). They jointly attended a programme talk with students from Evangel College. Dr Barbara Siu, Scheme Leader of BEng (Hons) Scheme in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Development, introduced the admission information and the recent developments of the civil engineering industry to the group. 

Students then visited our Hydraulics Laboratory and Structural Engineering Research Laboratory, where they get information about the latest technology and research activities regarding hydraulics and structural engineering through laboratory equipment’s demonstrations. They all found the visit eye-opening and interesting.

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. Out of six groups, four of them broke our existing tower height record (79cm). The winning team had set a new record by creating an 85cm-high tower.
