Post lunch we’re onto our final panel before we go on our cycle of the new cycling infrastructure across Limerick.

We’re discussing the report: “Public Perspectives on Cycle Infra in Limerick” by @RossAEHiggins with #ActiveTravelLimerick head Sean McGlynn.

[Ross Higgins @RossAEHiggins]

Delighted to be attending and participating in this national event. I’ll be on a panel this afternoon discussing the role of research in the roll out of cycling infrastructure.

It’s like Christmas Day here! Just took delivery of four new total stations for School of @EngineeringAtUL, esp for civil eng & construction management students. Thanks @KORECGroup for continued support in @UL. #StudyAtUL

GOT dead army pull dragon from lake but physics laws must be respected! Cables work in tension only and can't carry comp/shear forces or bending moments. If you’re pulling a cable and not applying other loads, it will remain straight (ignoring self-weight). #StudyAtUL

It was very nice to chat to prospective @sci_engUL students about exciting careers across a range of engineering disciplines. TY students were on campus last week on a STEPS Engineering Your Future Programme.

Research published on the analysis of submissions on an Active Travel Scheme in Limerick.
Takeaways: Twice as many +ve submissions than -ve, access concerns from residents & advocates for the elderly and safer facility should support more active travel.

Thanks @KOREC_Fran & Ronan Bonner for fantastic presentations on the latest & greatest @TrimbleCorpNews equipment. @EngineeringAtUL students loved the SX10 Scanning Total Station, the X9 Laser Scanner & the VR! #StudyAtUL

[Ross Higgins @RossAEHiggins]

Many thanks to all supporters for the IDP Site Survey esp Eamon (NCW Surveys). As part of @EngineeringAtUL students' Yr3 project, 10 hectares were surveyed and will now be drawn up to help finalise their structural designs. #StudyAtUL

[Ross Higgins @RossAEHiggins]

Great engagement with audience & online viewers last night. Thanks all! Especially enjoyed chatting with @UL civil @EngineeringAtUL grad, Alana Clohessy, who is working for @JohnSiskandSon on a major project: Killaloe Bridge. #StudyAtUL

[Faculty of Science & Engineering | UL @sci_engUL]

A good turn out for this evenings Engineering Common Entry information session @UL

Special thanks to Alana, Aoife, Jason and Fredrick who spoke so well about their experiences and life after graduation

Many thanks to externs, Brian Sheil, SawTeen See & Gary Litton, for reviewing our civil eng programmes this week. A special thanks to Sawteen for her fantastic presentation on the Merdeka skyscraper. Looking forward already to your return to @UL in 2025! #StudyAtUL

[Ross Higgins @RossAEHiggins]

Great presentations today by @PAfH_UL members Lisa Kelly, Muhammad Huzaifa Butt, Dr, @kevin_volf and Thayse at the @PAfH_UL Summer Event. Kwok Ng & Sean Healy also presented remotely. Well done all! #StudyAtUL

[Ross Higgins @RossAEHiggins]

PhD Defended✅. Many thanks to @UCDCivEng Studies Panel (Enda Murphy & Brendan Williams), to examiners @Paraic_Carroll & @drEvaHeinen, to Chair @jenkeenahan but a very special thanks to my supervisor @AoifeAhern1 for all the support over the last few years. An-áthas orm!

[Ross Higgins @RossAEHiggins]

Engineering is the creative application of maths & science to design and build things. Not only do civil @EngineeringAtUL students learn about analysis & design, they learn a lot about building, esp in relation to the construction sequence, assembly and stability. #StudyAtUL
