Engineers To Develop Networking Skills

Bandar Seri Begawan – As part of ongoing efforts to prepare young engineers with professional skills to meet the country's development needs, numerous activities have been arranged by Brunei Survey, Engineers and Architect Organisation (PUJA).

This includes the Young Engineers' Race, which is intended at exposing them to developing networking skills.

The one-day race began this morning at the Brunei Institute of Technology in Tungku.

Fifteen teams took part in the race which offered a cash prize $1,500.

Muhammad Nazri bin Haji Tuah, Chairman of the race said the race required participants to look for check points which have been setup at several areas in the Brunei Muara, Tutong and Belait Districts.

At every checkpoint, the participants were also required to complete clues at every before proceeding to other points. The clues were prepared by the committee two months before the race.

Touching on the checkpoints, he said the committee contacted the District Office, Forestry and other government agencies for approval.

He further mentioned that the participants of the race used their own vehicle.

A participant told that the race was organised to test the ability of the young engineers both mentally and physically.

The young engineers' society is an affiliate member of PUJA.

They consist of undergraduates and graduate engineers who are 35-years-old and below.
