Engineering Around the World

og:description

The refugee camp stood at the foot of the wooded Greek hills. Just inside the gate, along one of the high concrete walls, lay a long, narrow strip of gravel that Thomas Eichelberger and other Cockrell School students had traveled more than 6,000 miles to help turn into a playground. On this bright, brisk spring morning Eichelberger began recording terrain measurements. At the same time, Eman Zaheer turned to face what was, in all likelihood, the most unusual engineering challenge to face Cockrell students this year: keeping a group of smiling, curious, rambunctious Afghan children out from underfoot while the survey team took did its work.
