In dialogue with budding engineers
Every year in April, a contact convention for current and former students of Construction Engineering Sciences, Environmental Engineering Sciences, Geomatics & Planning and Spatial Development & Infrastructure Systems takes place at Zurich University's Hönggerberg campus.
In 2019 at the tunBasel, a special show that takes place every two years within the scope of the MUBA exhibition in Basel, reputable institutions displayed 43 exciting and challenging experiments intended to amaze children as of the first school year and to encourage their interest in research and discovery. A team from Rapp joined forces with other planning agencies to inspire an enthusiasm for technology in youngsters. One of the tasks they faced was to build a stable bridge out of three A4 sheets of paper and glue.
These events are not only a platform to present oneself as a potential employer and to engage with budding engineers, they also represent an important opportunity to draw attention to the appeal of professions in engineering and thus to counteract the lack of specialists.
