Following the briefing, the students were taken on a guided tour of the project site, where they had the opportunity to observe the ongoing renovation works and gain firsthand insights into the coordination of various technical disciplines throughout the construction process. The visit provided valuable practical exposure, enabling students to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world engineering practices while encouraging knowledge sharing and professional interaction with the project team. The programme reflects JKR Sarawak’s continued commitment to strengthening collaboration with higher education institutions and supporting the development of a new generation of knowledgeable, competent and industry-ready technical professionals equipped to meet the evolving challenges of the construction and infrastructure sectors.
