The arms symbolise the illusion of a humped back bridge over a stream in a red setting. However, one can also see a cross section of a pipe half filled with water, the sweep of a bend in a road, a ditch, a mound and so forth, all civil engineering exercises without being specific. The more visionary may also make out the letters A, C, and E. for the A.A.C.E. (Aberdeen Association of Civil Engineers). The arms are in the liveries of the arms of [[Aberdeen]], Gules and Argent thus linking them to the city. | The arms symbolise the illusion of a humped back bridge over a stream in a red setting.

A further link to Aberdeen is by way of the crest which leopard is borrowed from the supporters of the Aberdeen city arms. The demi-leopard is holding in his forepaws an annulet which has been taken from the arms of the mother organisation of the [[Institution of Civil Engineers]] as representing the mathematical element of all civil engineering. | A further link to Aberdeen is by way of the crest which leopard is borrowed from the supporters of the Aberdeen city arms.
