Our undergraduate Engineering students gave us a tour of the Materials Lab at our Prince George campus. Civil and Environmental Engineering students use the lab to gain a practical understanding of soil mechanics, the physical properties of soils, soil compaction and permeability. They also look at seepage, stresses in soils and consolidation. Civil Engineering students further study the properties of common building materials such as aggregates, cement, concrete, wood, steel and other construct
