University of Notre Dame Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences Junior Class Field Trips - Behind the Scenes Infrastructure
PURPOSE OF THE CEEES JUNIOR CLASS ANNUAL FIELD TRIP: To expose students to some of the biggest and most innovative infrastructure design and construction efforts going on in the United States; to provide an opportunity to see first-hand that the need to rebuild our often failing infrastructure is huge; to learn about the complexity of the structural, transportation, water resources, and environmental projects that keep our nation productive, efficient and healthy; and to interact one on one with project and design engineers. These trips help students see the wide range of opportunities available to become innovative engineering leaders and also help connect the classroom to the outside world.
