Designing to Precise Specs Is Not a Bridge Too Far for GEL Students
The bridge project was a highlight of GEL’s four-day Project Engineering course during IAP.

Instructors and GEL alums played the roles of govt officials. The annual course gives students a solid introduction to project management principles, methods, and tools in a realistic context.
