Ever wondered how engineers make buildings strong enough to withstand massive earthquakes?

 This session isn't just about concrete – it's about the super-materials of the future! 

We'll explore how advanced composites (think super-strong, lightweight materials) are being used to reinforce buildings and make them earthquake resistant. 

You'll discover how these new materials work and learn how they're saving lives.

They are great for getting to know the subject and getting a feel for the course. People were knowledgeable in the specific field (eg professors and students in civil engineering rather than just mathematicians/physicians)
