Engineers Week 2015
On the occasion of Engineer's Week and Women's Engineers Day last week, we asked several of our engineers to reflect on what excites them about Structural Engineering and of course what we do here as engineers. We posted their answers on our different social media platforms throught the week. Here are some of the responses:
"Collaboration and team work! We help solve real-world problems as a team to create amazing architecture. Whether learning from the in-house expertise at LERA or collaborating with Architects and Contractors, the process and evolution of problem solving is fascinating." ~ Michael
