The motif of our insignia is `The Bridge` . It represents four branches of engineering. It is composed of:
(1) The electrical and electronic `bridge` with its four diodes.
(2) The `ball and socket` which designates the mechanical `bridge`.
(3) The `suspension bridge` of Civil Engineering.
(4) The Chemical `bridge` H-OH which, as someone said, is `the water under the bridge`.
