Be a Civil Engineer for a Day Workshop

The Civil and Construction Engineering program at Nile University hosted a unique workshop titled "Be a Civil Engineer for a Day." The event aimed to provide high school students with an exciting glimpse into civil engineering through interactive and hands-on experiments. With over 100 applications received, predominantly from STEM and international school students, the workshop offered a range of engaging activities.

Participants tackled the Spaghetti Tower Challenge, where they designed and built stable towers using uncooked spaghetti and glue, exploring structural and load distribution principles. They also worked with the Mola Kit Structures, constructing small-scale models, and conducted the Reynolds Number Experiment to observe fluid dynamics and flow behaviors. Additionally, students engaged in land surveying at a level, taking measurements and learning about surveying techniques used by civil engineers.

The workshop was a resounding success in inspiring the next generation of civil engineers, offering a practical experience that encourages students to consider careers in shaping the future of buildings and cities.
