Special DVD Presentation: Engineering: Design Your World

Wednesday 29 August 2007, 1.10 - 1.50 pm
Civil Engineering Lecture Theatre 3

Abstract:
Replacing the usual research seminar, this week the School presents a new 20 minute DVD produced by the Association of Consulting Structural Engineers, ACEA, entitled Engineering: Design Your World.

Engineering: Design Your World is an exciting initiative produced to heighten young minds to the valuable role engineers play in shaping our world.

It is hoped that this DVD will demystify the role of engineers by unravelling the huge diversity and misconceptions of this vital and exciting profession.

The DVD showcases various projects across a variety of disciplines, including interviews with young engieers who confess to both challenges and rewards of taking part in some of the world's most impressive creations.

To provide feedback to the ACEA attendees will be asked to fill in a short survey after the presentation.
