In session 2004, the Graduate & Student (G&S) Division of ICE HKA launched a networking project, which comprises a series of events. The project aims at exploring civil engineering development in Asia Pacific region, appreciating the future move of the young engineer group in Asia Pacific region in the civil engineering society and establishing a sustainable relationship with young engineer groups in the region. The project lasts for two years. The first and second events of the project are the delegation to Malaysia and delegation to Singapore. Delegation to Shanghai will be the last event of the project. Delegates from other countries were invited for a five days visit to Hong Kong before departing for Shanghai on 23 August 2005. Both Ir. Teh Tyzz Wooi and Sdr. Ngeow Yen Wan responded to their invitation representing IEM G&S and a total of 15 delegates from different countries have participated this Shanghai delegtion.
