With some work experience under her belt, Ung now has a deeper appreciation of how to apply theoretical knowledge to real-life situations. She shares an example, ‘One morning, my supervisor at work taught me how to derive a soil parameter from soil test results. That same evening, my UM professor explained the exact same concept. This synergy not only enhances my learning but also helps me analyse problems more rigorously in my work.’ Enhancing Learning Effectiveness Through Competitions Prof Zhou notes that civil engineering is a systems science that requires a broad set of skills, including independent learning, teamwork, innovative thinking and problem-solving. To help students develop these skills, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering supports their participation in various civil engineering competitions. Over the past three years, students from the department have achieved outstanding results in high-level competitions for university students such as national bridge design competitions and national structure design contests on information technology. UM students consistently rank among the top performers and, in some cases, are the sole awardees from the Greater Bay Area. These competitions also spark student interest in research. Many participants go on to join their supervisors’ research teams, further enhancing their academic and professional growth. Diverse Career Paths ‘Civil engineering forms the foundation of social development. Despite rapid transformations in the industry, our graduates consistently find development opportunities worldwide that align with their strength,’ Prof Zhou emphasises. Indeed, UM graduates are highly regarded in Macao’s civil engineering sector. Nearly half of bachelor’s graduates secure positions at engineering firms and contribute to infrastructure development, architectural design, and structural analysis. Over the past three years, one hundred per cent of master’s graduates have secured employment, with many pursuing careers in Hong Kong and abroad. Additionally, about half of the bachelor’s graduates choose to pursue further studies after leaving UM. Many of them gain admission to world-class institutions, including the National University of Singapore, the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the University of Sydney, and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. ‘While the industry experiences cyclical changes, civil engineering is here to stay. It continues to evolve, and our responsibility is to keep pace with these changes and equip students with stronger competitiveness,’ Prof Zhou adds. UM’s civil engineering education is steadfast in its commitment to serving the community and advancing the industry. The university strives to cultivate professional civil engineers who can seize opportunities amid industry transformations. 學生參觀建築工地，聽業界實地分享。 Students visit a construction site and gain insights from industry professionals
