Engineering and Quality of Life

The course has a selection of practical experiments and challenges across a range of departmental disciplines. This includes experiments to demonstrate water purification through filtration process, widely used for water treatment; seepage of water through soil dams and its consequences; wave mechanisms related to coastal engineering and the response of structures to dynamic loads. There are, also included in the programme, a series of short lectures, aimed at explaining the role of Civil and Environmental Engineering in a modern society.
