Thank you, my students.

Some time ago I came up with a new category for my blog, "Thank you." I realized that people and companies out there are helping us make this a better learning experience by giving us tours of their job sites or work places, by making presentations, donations, and in many ways giving more meaning and color to your learning journey. And I made this new category of posts especially for them. But I would like to say thank you this time to you, my students. Although you may not know it or realize it, you have been there for me when I needed it most. It is difficult to explain, and it may sound silly, but I would not be here without you guys. I am honored to be your teacher and nothing brings me more joy that to see you learn and then succeed in your professional and personal life. After almost 8 years of teaching, I will keep in my heart what I learned from you and try to give the best I have to my future generations of students.

Thank you!

Dragos, Professor, Dr. Andrei, Doctor, Andrei, sir, instructor, etc.

So in our process of searching for a vision, we first rediscovered the meaning of the word engineer: INGENIOUS. How would you like to study Civil Ingenuity instead of Civil Engineering? The next step was to formulate a mission and educational objectives - the things that we would like you, our students, ...
