How to Give? Follow the link below and Choose Departments/Programs where you can directly contribute to CM and AS initiatives. How Much Should You Give? We appreciate every single $ you generously give us and promise to spend them to its most full potential! While it's the day of giving for you, for us, it's the day of appreciation and dreaming big!

I am so grateful to have great course mates who all have contributed to our report. We have learned a lot through challenges. I am also thankful to my lecturer, Zuheir Barsoum, and our mentors, Gustav Hultgren and Mehdi Ghanadi for steering us into the right direction. The course highlighted the crucial significance of comprehensive structural analysis, careful material selection, and ongoing optimisation. Every aspect plays a significant role in ensuring structural integrity and safety. This experience has reinforced the importance of planning and adaptability in developing a resilient and efficient hull structural design, ultimately enhancing safety and operational efficiency. #MaritimeIndustry #Research #Innovation #Collaboration #InternshipOpportunities #NordicResearch #Engineering #KTH #STEMEducation #HandsOnLearning #EngineeringLife #STEMStudents #EngineeringAtKTH #energyindustry #northsea #careergoals #lifelonglearning #maritime #Gratitude #FutureLeadership #navalarchitect #navalarchitecture #OpentoCollaborate #EngineeringExcellence #HigherEducation #marineindustry #yacht #renewableenergy #energy #ocean #research #connections #networking #hullstructure #structure #structuralengineering #hull #fea #offshorewindenergy #offshorerenewables #shipbuilding #shiprepair #cruiseindustry #internship #oilandgas #americascup #defenceindustry #AC37

"Grateful for the incredible learning experience during my internship at CSIR Central Building Research Institute,Roorkee 🏗️🤖. Excited to have explored the fusion of Structural Engineering and Machine Learning in the world of Civil Engineering. 🌉🧠 Special thanks to Bharat Singh Chauhan Sir (Senior Scientist, CBRI) #InternshipSuccess #StructuralEngineering #MachineLearning #CivilEngineering"

As the aroma of #pumpkinspice starts to flood our senses and the fall weather begins to cool, we had to say goodbye to our amazing group of summer #interns as they returned to their respective universities. Having this group of enthusiastic students in our office made the summer more enjoyable. Everyone needs to be investing in the next generation of engineers to build the much-needed #civilengineering work force that will ultimately be responsible for rebuilding the #infrastructure of this country. No longer can our industry afford to recruit our candidates from competitor firms; we need to #growthepool, not just rotate business cards. I was proud that R2O Consulting LLC was able to do our small part this summer with these four amazing students. #STEM #stemstudents #stemcareers #environmentalconsulting #civilengineering #civilengineer #waterresources #hydrology #hydraulics #hydraulicmodeling #smallbusiness #womanownedbusiness #engineers #engineering #engineeringjobs #trainingthenextgeneration

🌟 Delighted to share a groundbreaking achievement from my internship at DTnEC, a cutting-edge startup in Manchester, UK, where we spearheaded the development of an innovative automated pipeline design system! 🚀 👨🔬 As a 4th-year Mechanical Engineering student at NUST, I led a dynamic team in pioneering a comprehensive solution to automate the pipeline design process for the Oil and Gas industry. Over seven intensive months, our focus was on integrating advanced technical functionalities to streamline every aspect of pipeline design. 💼 🛠️ Powered by our collective ingenuity, our system seamlessly automated intricate tasks within an Excel environment using VBA, eliminating the need for specialized software. Here's a glimpse into the technical marvels we accomplished: 🗺️ Routing with QGIS: Leveraging QGIS, we extracted vital data from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of London, including elevation, length, soil information, and key crossings. 💧 Flow Assurance: We engineered the system to calculate precise pipeline thickness based on user inputs like flow rate and pressure drop. For liquids, we employed Darcy-Weisbach and Bernoulli equations, adapting to various flow regimes. Gas calculations involved determining compressibility factors using Brills and Baggs empirical relation, followed by diameter calculations using Weymouth and Panhandle A equations. 🔩 Mechanical Design: Our system utilized ASME B36.10 standards to select appropriate pipe specifications. We employed hoop stress formulas to determine the optimal pipe NPS and schedule number. 💰 Cost Estimation: Our model factored in various parameters, including material costs and construction complexities, to provide clients with accurate projections tailored to their needs. 👥 Collaborating with talents like Usman Shah, Aiman Masood and Saram Shiraz was a true privilege, showcasing the power of interdisciplinary teamwork in tackling complex engineering challenges. Special thanks to Azam Shafiq for his unwavering support and guidance throughout this remarkable journey! 💡 This immersive experience not only sharpened our technical acumen but also underscored the importance of collaboration and innovation in driving meaningful change. 🌐 🏆 Proud to be part of a select team that successfully delivered a project, standing out among 100 initial participants. Our collective efforts exemplify the spirit of excellence and determination in engineering! 💪 #PipelineDesign #OilAndGas #Automation #EngineeringExcellence #NUSTEngineering #InternshipExperience Following is a snippet of the user interface from the final presentation.

Thank you Faculty of Engineering for inviting me to be a panelist! Key takeaways include: 1. University will never fully prepare you for “the real world”… The Faculty develops students to be problem solvers and critical thinkers. They give the students the skills they need to excel in the workforce. A lot of what you need to know will be taught to you on the job. 2. If you're interested in starting your own business, find a way to make people’s lives easier and be passionate about creating that solution. Find individuals who inspire you and learn from their mistakes, gain mentorship. Start small and take your time. There are a lot of great start-up opportunities in Halifax, research what support is available. 3. Your inspiration may be your parents, family, or family friend. But it can also be someone who is two years ahead of you, those two years can make all the difference. You don't need to have your whole road map figured out, as long as you can see your next step.

Summer Student Update! Check out what Reece Fortner, a senior in the NMU CM program is up to this summer: Q: What's the name of the company you're working for? A: Ballard Marine Construction Q: Where are you located? A: Evanston, Illinois Q: What are your major responsibilities? A: Analyze survey reports, drawings, plans, specifications, contractual documents. Estimate quantities and cost of materials, equipment, and labor. Inspect project sites to monitor progress and ensure conformance to design specifications, safety standards, and productivity goals. Q: What's been your favorite part of the experience so far? A: My favorite part of this experience so far has to be just watching the project as a whole go from plans and documents into actually being executed.

"Why did you want to become an engineer?" We continue our E-Week celebration by shining a light on Brynna Bartlett, EI. Brynna joined the team full-time two years ago after interning with Matthews | DCCM during her final two semesters at UNF. Describe your job in one sentence As a civil engineer, I design stormwater management facilities and lift stations. What's something you enjoy doing outside of work? I enjoy playing pickleball outside of work. Why did you want to become an engineer? When I was interning at a prosthetics office in college, I realized I was drawn to the design aspects of the field which is why I shifted my attention to engineering. There is something so cool about designing a product and seeing it constructed. Surprising or fun fact about yourself. I have trained two service dogs. Any advice for STEM students/future engineers? If you are thinking about a career in STEM get involved early with internships or research opportunities to find out what field interests you. #MatthewsDCCM #EWeek #EWeek2024 #CivilEngineers #STEM
