And more will be added to the list! 

Emily Scoones and Paul Astle from Ramboll gave us the pleasure of presenting our first industry talk of the year! 

They gave us a history of the uses of technology in the past and its potential uses in the near future and through some very comprehensive examples of projects Ramboll works on, students attending got a better sense on how technology is used in the civil engineering industry, wether it be for structural design or to work collaboratively with architects. Some key questions they answered were: why, how and when are tools designed to help engineers at Ramboll? What will AI do for us? What would be the next steps?

Thank you very much Emily, Paul and Ramboll!

Special thanks to the NCE for organising this captivating question time panel with industry-leading civil engineers! 

"Students from the Imperial College London civil engineering society, CivSoc, put their questions about the industry and their careers to a panel of senior engineers including Arup director of infrastructure design group Tim Chapman, Crossrail 2 managing director Michèle Dix, Crossrail head of technical information Malcolm Taylor, Association of Consultants & Engineers chief executive Hannah Vickers, and Balfour Beatty managing director Stephen Tarr.

We were very pround to have so many industry-leading companies attending our 5th Careers Fair! All students enjoyed the opportunity to interact with the companies directly, often with civil engineers or HRs, and sometimes even with Imperial Alumni! We hope to see you all again next year!

Photos of the fair are available here.
