Civil Engineering Graduates

Bridget graduated from the university with a very high GPA. She is an assistant project director with a state department of transportation (DOT). She is out on the job site (e.g., a bridge construction project), in a hard hat and boots from 7 A.M. to 4 P.M. It is her job to supervise the state workers on-site and the other construction companies that work for the DOT. She is personally responsible for the construction to be done correctly. She travels a lot locally and typically covers the entire county in which she lives. She normally works 40 hours per week and is paid for any overtime. In her spare time, she has been involved in judging science fair projects in the local school system, and she likes to swim. Her plans for the future involve going to graduate school.

He graduated from Cambridge with first class honours in Mechanical Sciences in 1958, and obtained his PhD in 1962 and his ScD in 1977. He was a Fulbright researcher in aeronautics at Stanford University, and joined University College London (UCL) in 1964. He has published four books on instabilities, bifurcations, catastrophe theory and chaos, and was appointed professor at UCL in 1977. Michael Thompson was elected FRS in 1985 and was awarded the Ewing Medal ofthe Institution of Civil Engineers. He was a senior SERC fellow and served on the IMA Council. In 1991 he was appointed director of the Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics. 

Edward P. Hamilton was born in East Orange, New Jersey, son of the late Edward P. and Alice Wiley Hamilton. He attended the Hill School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, in 1907, with a degree in civil engineering. The next seven years were spent in sanitary, hydraulic, and construction projects in the Catskills, Berkshires, and in Cuba. In 1914 he joined the staff of John Wiley Sons, the oldest book publishing house in New York City, established in 1807 by Mr. Hamilton s great-grandfather, Charles Wiley. 

The experts, five men and four women, were between the ages of 23 and 34 and studied or graduated in computer science, civil engineering and mechanical engineering. All of them worked at the computer daily and used the communication tools mentioned above. The experts had worked with Windows and Unix operating systems for 7.5 years on average.
