Five reasons to study civil engineering at Surrey

Get involved

In our Spatial Structures Research Centre we offer a tailor made DAD (design, assemble, dismantle) project every year, for students at all levels, which is about the design, assembly and dismantling of a full scale lattice structure. Each team designs a structure based on the materials that are available, and then another team will use these designs to build the structure within a two-hour time frame.

This project can be organised for students from other universities, as well as participants from industry, to work alongside students here at Surrey. If you are interested in getting involved, then please contact Alireza Behnejad.

Please download the brochure or take a look at the Institution of Structural Engineers blog for more information about the project. Pictures and videos of the project are also available on our Facebook page.
