End of the year BBQ and Hydraulic Engineering Road Trip

End of the year BBQ and Hydraulic Engineering Road Trip

Dear Hydraulic Students,

Now that everyone is working hard on their deadlines and their final exams of this year, it is a good moment to announce that there will be an event on July 1st to end the year and to usher in the summer break! First, we will have a Hydraulic Engineering Road Trip after which there will be a BBQ at the Delftse Hout! The road trip will start around noon and if you like,  it is possible to attend only one of the two events (road trip or bbq) but we of course recommend to be present at both.

For the road trip, we would like you to arrange your own car for you and the people with whom you would like to take the trip. Specially made Waterbouwdispuut mouth masks will be distributed by us at the start.

All corona-related measures that are issued by the government should be met. More information on corona-safety will be shared after closure of the applications.

If you like to attend the road trip, please send an email to me (secretaris@waterbouwdispuut.nl) and if you like to attend the BBQ please fill in the following google forms: https://forms.gle/2YuyFqZdTW8zZJ6L7. More information will follow but for now, make sure to put July 1st in your calendar.

Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 2021: Embrace the force of nature (registration closed)

Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 2021: Embrace the force of nature

The Hydraulic Engineering Symposium 2021 will all be about building with nature and circularity. On May 7th, Stefan Aarninkhof (Professor Coastal Engineering TU Delft) will host the symposium from our corona-proof studio. The symposium will start with a plenary session where Henk Nieboer (director EcoShape) and Bart-Jan van der Spek (Project manager & engineer CDR international) will speak about building with nature and their experience in this field of work. After this session, four leading hydraulic engineering companies will join us for two challenging workshops after which we finalize the symposium with a discussion and some virtual drinks which will be provided by the symposium committee.

The symposium is the perfect way to get know this intriguing field of work and to experience how companies implement this kind of engineering in their own projects. Enthusiastic? Apply now, via the following google forms link:

https://forms.gle/ZdYnHBxXXaVhGR3L6 (REGISTRATION CLOSED)

Note that a gmail-account is needed to apply for the event and that the event is only accessible for TU Delft master students. Because of the current COVID-19 measures, the symposium is an online event for all participants. More information on the program follows after registration. For all questions concerning the symposium please send an e-mail to symposium@waterbouwdispuut.nl .

Hope to see you all on May 7th,
