Civil Engineering Club at Woodrow Wilson High School

Bachan Sinha and Bill Douglas from Terracon were kind enough to host about 20 students in the Engineering Academy at WWHS at the office and materials lab.  Students were given a brief presentation on geotechnical engineering and were then taken over to the materials testing lab.  Here the students learned about all the various types of material testing that is done by geotechnical engineering on every construction project.  They even got the chance to watch the always exciting concrete cylinder axial compression test.  More pictures from the field trip can be found here.  Students were also taken to see a waste water treatment facility and the Corgan offices (architects).
