🏆 Congratulations to two teams of civil engineering students from our School who won first and third place at a national model building competition earlier this month.

Edward, Miguel and Peter won first place, while Gareth, Alasdair and Alex placed third, at The Institution of Structural Engineers Student Model Competition held at the University of Dundee.

The teams had to build a tower with the highest load-to-weight ratio possible, using basic materials including balsa wood. The Edinburgh teams beat competition from students across Scotland.

Interesting construction project near Edinburgh. We're very much looking forward to seeing this one develop. 🏗

Major construction work at Scotland’s newest leisure and staycation facility, Wavegarden Scotland, got underway today in Ratho, near Edinburgh. The £55m landmark development will include the country’s first inland surfing destination using revolutionary new technology.

Most of the Civil Engineering academics had an away day today to discuss the future of our engineering programmes. Good discussions and good fun! 🏗 (Prof Bisby, in particular, seems to be enjoying himself!)
