This year, National Engineering Week was very exciting. The CSCE NF & LAB Section had a display at the Village Mall.
For the last five years, the Newfoundland and Labrador
Section of CSCE has had a display set up in the Village Mall during National
Engineering Week to help educate the public about Civil Engineering. We
were there on February 28, 1998 to help kick off National Engineering Week.
Pictured at left is our brand new display, designed and constructed by
Stephen Garland, secretary of the local section.
The picture at right shows four members of our local section participating during the saturday of events
In 1996, CSCE shared its booth with MUN's first
ever Concrete Canoe, prepared for a competition in Montreal in May of that
year. (Memorial's 8 person team finished in second place overall despite
major damage to their canoe during shipping. Memorial won the awards for
best design and best presentation.) Some team photos and a little piece
of history of the canoe are available here.
