Led by ๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ , Associate Head of CEE, a group of 18 CEE undergraduate and postgraduate students visited ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง๐ค ๐๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฐ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐๐ฅ which is currently under construction by ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ on ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ (๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฒ).
During the visit, students were able to explore underground construction engineering and discover the cutting-edge features of the project, including the adoption of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) excavation, cut-and-cover, drill-and-break, drill-and-blast methods. Through exposing to real-world scenarios and the advanced technologies applied, students’ academic knowledge and practical skills were significantly strengthened.
The visit also featured a career talk by Dragages HK, in which students could discover more about construction companies. Two current Assistant Engineers, who are also CEE alumni, shared their experiences and insights navigating their career journey, and advised tips on transitioning from campus to the world of civil engineering. The students found the visit fruitful and inspiring.
CEE strives to enhance students’ exposure as well as improving the connection with alumni and the industry. We look forward to collaborating with more industry partners to foster practical learning opportunities to students, at the same time building a stronger bonding within the CEE Community.
