CE 8700 Project Course Awards Presentations

CE 8700 Project Course Awards Presentations, 1998 As a part of the final semester (Term 8) of the Civil Engineering curriculum at Memorial University, students are required to enroll in Engineering 8700 - Civil Engineering Project. The Memorial University Calendar describes Engineering 8700 as:

"A practically oriented design project integrated over the five areas in which Civil programmes are offered. Students will operate in consultant groups and will complete a design for a typical Civil Engineering undertaking."

At the end of the term, the papers are submitted for evaluation, and each group must present its project to a committee of engineers, usually made up of project clients, as well as professors of the faculty.

On April 22, 1998, after the Iron Ring Ceremony, two awards were presented in conjunction with the 8700 project course: The W. J. Campbell Award for Best Overall Project, and the CSCE Prize for Best Project Presentation.

The W. J. Campbell Award for Best Overall Project went to Five-Star Engineering Consultants for the structural design of the Portugal Cove Road Underpass at the Outer Ring Road Interchange. The client for this project was the Highway Design Division of the Department of Works, Services & Transportation. In this photo are (L-R): Dr. Leonard Lye, P. Eng. (Chair of Civil Engineering), David Ralph, Tonya Lane, Douglas Power, Scott Smith, George Parsons, and Leo White, P. Eng. (Division of Cooperative Education).

The award for Best Overall Project was renamed the W.J. Campbell Award in memory of Prof. Wally J. Campbell, P. Eng., who passed away in January, 1998. Professor Campbell was a long-time CSCE Faculty rep and member.

The large plaque in the background of this picture commemorates all the past winners of this award and resides in the Civil Engineering Senior Design Homeroom, known as the Civil Room, located on the second floor of the S. J. Carew Building, room EN-2050.

The CSCE Prize for Best Project Presentation went to Newfoundland Design Consultants for the structural design of the Bowring Park Amphitheatre. The client for this project was the Bowring Park Foundation. In this photo are (L-R): Todd Parsons, Brandon MacDonald, Paul Morris, Janet Leawood, J.A. (Art) Singleton, Gordon Jin, P. Eng.
