STEM Playground 2019
27 - 28 July 2019 : STEM can be defined as a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific fields which are Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM education is becoming increasingly essential in our society as technology continues to grow in our daily lives. These STEM’s activities have been incorporated in a concept of outdoor learning environments to give the students early exposure in a fun and approachable way. There are four main activities provided during these two-day event which are bridge design, marble run challenge, balloon car race, and catapult. The students had their chance to understand the working principle of a dispenser through the DIY water dispenser machines.
BCE Laboratory Housekeeping
16 July 2019 : Civil Engineering Programme has conducted a laboratory housekeeping among the lecturers, lab technicians, and postgraduate students at all civil laboratories and workshops including Concrete, Soil and Geotechnical, Highway and Transportation, Hydraulics, Environmental and Wastewater. The main objectives of housekeeping conducted are as follows: a) To ensure all the laboratories and workshops are clean and well-maintained as workspace. b) To improve the safety among the lab users by preventing any accidents occur. c) To enhance the overall efficiency of work performed between the users and equipment. d) To develop teamwork spirit among the staff and students. 16 July 2019
Survey Camp 2019
01- 05 July 2019 : Survey camp is organised for the civil engineering students to have exposure and hands-on experience on the actual land surveying works in the industry. Within a period of five days, students are given a site with unique topographic features to carry out a series of surveying tasks, which includes levelling, contouring, and traversing. Students are trained to (a) plan and execute projects, (b) handle surveying tools and equipment, (c) coordinate people and work in a team, (d) analyse problems, (e) propose solutions, and (f) complete, conclude and present the project. Objectives: • To give students an opportunity to improve theoretical and practical knowledge in engineering surveying under actual field conditions. • To familiarize in handling different survey equipment. • To develop self-discipline, self-confidence, leadership, interpersonal skills, and team works among the students in order for them to work independently by solving the field problems as surveying is not a single person task which indirectly can enhance their academic development.
