Seminar series
The regular series of seminars given by the postgraduate students and staff in the School of Civil Engineering, The University of Sydney continues in 2011. The general range of topics include the main areas of research within the School of Civil Engineering: geotechnical, structures, project management, fluids, and materials. Closer to the date of each seminar, synopses will be available on the Internet. Click on the title to get the abstract.
Lectures will be held in the Civil Engineering Conference Room, Level 4, School of Civil Engineering, The University of Sydney, (mostly) on Wednesdays, 4:00-5:00 pm.
