The Maldives National University (MNU) has signed an MoU with Civil and Structural Engineering Consultants Pvt Ltd (CSEC) of Sri Lanka.
While the MoU seeks “to collaborate in areas of Structural Engineering, Science and Techology,” MNU said this was the result of discussions held during CSEC’s visit to the university in January this year.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, CSEC’s managing director Shiromal Fernando said that it is “excited to contribute to the growth and development of young Maldivian minds in the field of Engineering.”
Under the agreement, both MNU and CSEC will “work together on research, teaching, training and internationalization, as well as in the exercise of best practices and global standards compliance within the industry.”
Further noting that CSEC’s January visit had “unveiled possibilities for providing assistance in developing the engineering curriculum and initiating new courses like Modular Construction,” MNU said that this includes “providing scholarships for undergraduate engineering students with outstanding performance, and students seeking to complete their internship requirements.”
It further noted that they had also explored opportunities “for bilateral research with CSEC and University of Melbourne and collaboration on joint publications with Maldivian academics.”
CSEC, a state-of-the-art consultancy firm comprising of internationally acclaimed Structural Engineers in the industry and academia, has extended its scope of operations by undertaking two notable projects in the country; Vakkaru Luxury Resort and Nasandhura Residencies.
