Moratuwa, Peradeniya Engineers unite for research
The Moratuwa and Peradeniya Engineers have joined hands to synergize
the collective strength of Sri Lankan engineers throughout the globe to
collaborate and support engineering innovations and research in our
country. The inaugural Mora - Pera Engineers Reunion is to be held at
the University of Peradeniya on Saturday, March 30, 2013.

“It is expected to be a great opportunity for engineers from various
generations to re-establish contacts and networks. The outcome of such
collaborations would no doubt enhance their collective contribution to
Sri Lanka's society.
This being a timely initiative, I being an engineering graduate from
the University of Moratuwa, look forward to meet my batch mates as well
as fellow engineers from both universities,” said Eng. Dr Nalaka
Godahewa, Patron of Mora - Pera Engineers Reunion and Chairman of the
Securities Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka.
Eng Nihal Rupasinha, Chairman, Central Engineering Consultancy Bureau
and Patron of Mora - Pera Engineers' Reunion, representing the
Peradeniya Engineers, commented, “In our professional lives , we build
concrete bridges and robust power or communication networks.
I believe as engineers, we need to build stronger bridges between
leading engineering institutions and create influential professional
networks among engineers, to collaborate more and more. As we are aware,
a large percentage of Sri Lankan engineers work and live aboard.
Building a global engineers network, is a timely and commendable
objective of Mora - Pera Engineer's reunion initiative.
Nevertheless, social media would not completely replace our human
interactions. It is nice for us to meet once a year for a social
gathering. I believe that the Mora - Pera Reunion, creates this
opportunity, said Damith Hettihewa , Chairman, Organizing Committee or
Mora - Pera Engineer's Reunion.
The inaugural T20 Cricket encounter and Fellowship Dinner too, would
be held and the Moratuwa and Peradeniya Engineers could register for
both events at http://morapera.aurora.lk/ |
