Edinburgh Napier University graduate Dr Mark Taylor (currently a Lecturer in Civil Engineering) hosted a 20th anniversary reunion for the Civil and Transportation Engineering department. Alumni were invited to attend a tour of the recently modernised laboratory facilities and meet first year undergraduate students.
During a drinks reception hosted in our fluids laboratory the hot topic of conversation was where we are now. With employment ranging from project management in the banking sector to operational management of central Scotland’s electricity provision – these graduate engineers are significantly contributing to UK economy. Tales of tunnelling in Australia and high value civil engineering projects winning Saltire Awards made for some interesting discussion with the first year undergraduates.
