On 11th January 2020, NUS CEE Chinese Alumni Association organized the 1st Workshop on Structural Safety, Mechanics and Engineering Applications. More than 30 CEE graduates gathered in Shanghai for this reunion. The aim of this workshop is to build up a platform to connect our alumni and to share experience on research and collaboration. Professor Quek Ser Tong and Michael Beer (our former colleague) participated in the workshop and provided their advice. The 2nd alumni reunion will be hosted in Shenzhen, China next year.
