Engineering for Communities: Family Day
Students and staff in Civil Engineering collaborated with NUI Galway’s Ryan Institute to host Engineering for Communities family day, which was held in the Galway City Museum on Saturday February 19th as part of National Engineers Week. Hundreds of visitors explored the various activities, each dedicated to engineering solutions for different community needs. Highlights included the Eco-House Design Challenge, a K’Nex Bridge Building Contest, Lego Mindstorms Robot Trials, Electronic Circuitry and Wastewater Treatment Demonstrations: great preparation for the next generation of young engineers!
