Good afternoon Civil Engineering students,

*New* Technical Elective for Fall 2018:

ENGG 523 - Bio-Inspired Engineering<https://www.ucalgary.ca/pubs/calendar/current/engineering.html#43074> - Engineering can take inspiration from nature to develop new products, processes, and systems, or improve existing designs. Topics in this course include design by analogy, functional biology, principles and techniques of biomimicry and bio-inspired engineering methods, and bio-inspired computation. Students will gain experience and a working knowledge of ideation, concept development and will model and create a bio-inspired engineering project.

Lecture is Mon/Wed/Fri 1-1:50pm, with tutorial  "TBA" meaning that it will not appear at any particular time in your weekly schedule.  The tutorial will involve content such as:  online material, possible field trips and/or class visits, workshops, and project drop-in sessions.
