A panel of professors and students will introduce the CEE Department and discuss how CEE helps students thrive at Berkeley. We’ll also provide a light lunch! We’ll all eat together after the presentation, allowing for informal conversations with students and professors.
Lab Tours (1:30-2:00)
534 Davis Hall
Immediately following lunch, interested students may take a lab tour with their choice of professor.
- Professor Scott Moura will demonstrate his Civil Systems research, including smart batteries, and new transportation ideas.
- Professor Evan Variano will demonstrate his research on Environmental Fluid Mechanics, including ocean turbulence and marsh restoration.
- Professor Boaxia Mi will demonstrate her research on Environmental Nanotechnology, including desalination membranes and clean water systems for disaster relief.
Shake it to the Core! (10:00-noon)
Structures Laboratory, 2nd floor Davis Hall
Design and build a tower to resist a major earthquake! Once your structure is complete, test it on an earthquake simulator. Will your tower survive the shaking? (Presented by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center and the CEE Undergraduate Seismic Design Team.)
Using Light as a Ruler—3D Scanning in Civil Engineering (10:00-noon)
Structures Laboratory, 2nd floor Davis Hall
Watch as we use a laser scanner to scan the Concrete Canoe built by our Concrete Canoe Student Competition Team. We’ll digitally reconstruct the canoe and obtain an accurate 3D representation.
