Lab Safety Guidelines

 

The following information is intended to make you better informed; however, before working in the laboratory area, instructors instruct their students in laboratory safety procedures.

  • Wearing safety glasses or goggles is mandatory in laboratories where they are needed.
  • Be aware of the locations of safety showers, eye washes, fire extinguishers, telephones, and material safety data sheets so you can use them when needed.
  • Report all chemical spills immediately to the lab instructor.
  • Broken glass and all waste chemicals must be disposed of in the authorized containers.
  • Wear lab coats when handling chemicals.
  • Always wear shoes in the laboratory, and do not wear sandals or perforated shoes.
  • Always wear long pants, and do not wear shorts in the laboratory area.
  • If you discover a fire or fire-related emergency such as abnormal heating of material, hazardous gas leaks, hazardous material or flammable liquid spill, smoke, or odor of burning, immediately activate the building fire alarm system and notify the fire department.

 

As part of your introduction to the laboratory, before starting experiments in the department labs, students must review the Laboratory Safety Manual with his/her instructor, be familiar with its contents, and keep it handy for reference.

Final Year Project

 

As part of their fifth year, students are required to carry out a project and submit a technical report. This project is a substantial piece of work that will require creative activity and original thinking. Students in groups, normally three per group, are supervised while working on a project accounting for four credit hours, extending over a full academic year. The project aims to provide students with a transitional experience from the academic world to the professional world. It is designed to serve as a platform in which CE students in teams engage in a practical design experience requiring the solution of civil engineering design problems.Yet, a student who has already passed a minimum of 90 credits is eligible to register for the Final Year Project.

 

The objectives of the final year project are:

 

To allow students to demonstrate a wide range of the skills learned at the College of Engineering during their course of study by asking them to deliver a complete and original design for a Civil Engineering scheme;
To encourage work on multidisciplinary projects, where students get to apply material learned in a number of courses;
To allow students to develop problem solving, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and design skills.
To encourage teamwork;
To improve students' communication skills by asking them to produce both a professional report and a professional poster and to give an oral presentation of their work;
