Engineering a vision into a reality

Travel any highway or cross any bridge, walk
into a building or shop in a mall and the
reality of construction engineering becomes
immediately apparent. Architects envision
exciting designs, but it is the challenge of
construction engineering to make those
visions concrete. This involves a set of
practical and intellectual skills and a strong
team-working ethos.

“CCE always encourages students to take
up responsibilities and take part in many
activities without neglecting the educational
