Department Spotlight: Steel Construction Teaching Aid
The steel construction teaching aid returns to McMaster with a few modifications and new paint. Walters Group visited our campus for an appreciation event and unveiling this month. The structure was removed due to the construction of the Gerald Hatch Centre. Lydell Wiebe, Associate Professor provided remarks on the purpose and use of the teaching aid for the Department of Civil Engineering. Dr. Wiebe was joined by Dean Ishwar Puri, Acting Associate Dean Steve Hranilovic, Walters HR Manager Marty Verhey and students from the McMaster Engineering Society.
