This morning we met Jena from AIFS at the Gloucester Road Tube Station and we followed her to the Ramboll office which is between Soho and the West End. Ruth Johnson gave us an overview of what Ramboll does and took us on a tour of their office. All employees--from HR to engineers to the CEO--sit at tables in an open floor plan. After the tour, we had tea and Ruth presented the students with a case study: examining and evaluating two possible building sites. Even though my 8 students are not civil or structural engineers, they used their critical thinking skills to approach the problem.
Luke and Dylan asked the interview questions and Ruth provided great information for the students. Best quote from Ruth: "If you can't design a good report--how can you design a good building?"
