The Communist Youth League of the Civil Engineering Department of Tsinghua University, China organized an exchange visit program named “Macau Experience” for the students of the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University, and meetings with students of the Department of Civil Engineering of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) of the University of Macau (UM) and the Honours College of the University of Macau were arranged during visit. The students of the two Universities shared their learning experiences and life stories, while the students from the University of Macau shared the cultural highlights of Macau, fostering friendship and cooperation between the two institutions and regions.

The main purpose of this program is to provide students from Tsinghua University with a deeper understanding of the research progress and experimental equipments and international teaching environment of the UM. The students visited the Structures Laboratory, Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory, Environmental Engineering Laboratory and the State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City (SKL-IOTSC). To enhance Tsinghua students’ understanding of UM’s cutting-edge research progress in civil engineering, Prof. Mi Pan, Prof. Xianfei Yin, and Prof.  Zhenning Li, engaged in face-to-face discussions with the participating students, sharing their research achievements. The students actively asked questions, creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.

The program achieved a great success with the support and guidance of FST, SKL-IOTSC, and the Youth League Committee of the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University.
