The competition topics mainly revolve around engineering knowledge, popular science, and the work of the HKIE. A total of 12 teams participated in the competition. Each team consists of five members, including four students and one backup member. Six HKIE members have formed teams with their alma mater as an expert advisor, answering questions from participating students and providing professional guidance and advice.
The Carnival will be held at the Harbourside Lawn, West Kowloon Cultural District from 1 to 3 March, lasting for three consecutive days. It will feature various interactive game booths, competitions, photo spots, and exciting performances related to engineering. The event is free and open to the public, and “Our Future Engineers” Secondary Student Quiz Contest final round is also open to the public audience.
The HKIE believes that through interaction with practising professional engineers, students can gain a deeper understanding of the important role engineers play in the development of the city.
