02.10.2011: NASA Astronaut, Shane Kimbrough is to speak at the University of Limerick about his 16-day space mission on STS-126 Endeavour. During the mission Kimbrough performed two space walks logging a total of 12 hours and 52 minutes. STS-126 Endeavour returned to Earth after completing 250 orbits in over 6 million miles.
The link with Shane materialised through the relationship between UL’s Civil Engineering & Materials Science Department and its equivalent at the US Military Academy at West Point. We are absolutely delighted to be able share with Ireland’s future scientists and engineers, the wonder and reward that these careers have to offer and the benefits they bring to the world today.
Shane Kimbrough’s talk at the University of Limerick takes place on Tuesday October 4th in the University Concert Hall from 13.00 - 14.00.
To register for a place at the talk please email maria.mcdonald@ul.ie, or phone 061-20 2301.
Welcome
This site presents an insight into the innovative new programme in Civil Engineering @ University of Limerick (CIVIL @ UL), which is built around three key thematic areas: Energy, Environment and Infrastructure/Building Structures.
The programme (CAO code LM085) is challenging and our learning-by-doing approach engages the students’ intellectual and physical energy in a creative and rigorous way.
Our Goal
CIVIL @ UL use a learning-by-doing approach to prepare the next generation of engineers to design and implement sustainable solutions to the many pressing physical development problems facing society.
To achieve this goal, our degree programme is built around the thematic areas of Energy, Environment and Infrastructure/Building Structures and we integrate technical expertise with research and communication skills from Year 1.
Graduates of CIVIL @ UL will therefore be in a strong position to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and contribute positively to making the world a better place.
CIVIL @ UL is a busy and exciting place. Use the navigation tabs to learn more about the CIVIL @ UL approach.
