Comprising a floor area of 162 square meters, the structures lab offers students the opportunity to test steel, timber and concrete structural elements, reinforcing the theoretical mechanical properties discussed in the classroom.
Two labs, used for concrete, asphalt, and geotechnical testing, comprising a total of 410 square metres of floor area.
A 100 square meter facility, shared with the Environmental Engineering Technology department.
The Geotechnical Lab is a 49 square meter facility used for conducting 'clean' soils testing. Specimens are prepared in the Materials Lab and tested in the Geotechnical Lab, allowing this lab to remain dust and dirt free.
We're a faculty who are passionate about education, and we strive to create graduates who are equally passionate about their career as a member of the civil engineering team. We come from the civil engineering industry, and bring much of that experience into the classroom. While it may appear at times that we expect too much of you, we're preparing you to succesfully take on the challenges you'll face in industry. Talk to our graduates, and ask them how well-prepared they were...
