The EERI 2013 undergraduate student earthquake competition rules are NOW AVAILABLE @ http://slc.eeri.org/SDC2013.htm

If you are interested in participating then check out the link, tell your friends and come to the next EERI-RU meeting on Oct 24th at Noon in Ryon 201.

Pre-registration for the conference is Nov 1 and the abstract is due the 15th of Nov. The conference is in February so you have plenty of time to design a really cool building to survive three real ground motions.

Best regards,

EERI-RU Officers

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Rice University has initiated an EERI student chapter! We are working on developing our annual activities and will post when, where and how to be involved in those in the coming weeks. Please keep and eye on this site and let us know if you want to join and get involved.

You can subscribe to our mailing list by visiting https://mailman.rice.edu/mailman/listinfo/eeri-ru-l and filling in the necessary information.

Monthly meetings will be scheduled as well as special EERI-RU seminars for which we will invite national and local professionals to speak on earthquake engineering issues.

Yes we are in HOUSTON so earthquakes may not have pre-eminance in our minds like hurricanes do, but we are the UNITED STATES and a GLOBAL community…Natural disasters of all kinds need addressing by our burgeoning  engineers. Thus we in the EERI-RU organization aspire to bring awareness to our community and provide outreach to young students in high-schools and middle schools.

Best regards,

The officers of EERI-RU
