We are civil engineering students from the University of Bristol and have just completed our 2nd year of a 4 year Masters degree in Civil Engineering. We are working with the University this summer to scope potential community based engineering projects that the 3rd year students can undertake as their major research projects.
Community based learning can be described as the process by which students apply what they are learning to community problems, at the same time as reflecting upon their experience to gain a deeper understanding and to achieve real objectives for the community.
We would be looking to find up to 3 placements for pairs of students, and the projects would need to have both community and engineering outcomes. This blog will follow the ups and downs of the first stages of the project as we embark on our mission to help create links between the academic applications of civil engineering and the needs of the local community.
