The annual ACED Conference will take place this year on the 30th and 31st of October 2014 at the University of the West of Scotland, Paisley Campus. The flyer gives further details regarding the Conference, including online registration which is now available.
A key discussion topic at the Conference will be the management and operation of undergraduate civil engineering research projects. As part of this, we are collecting information on how they are run, and this will be discussed at the Conference. It would be useful if all academics who look after undergraduate civil engineering research projects could complete this five minute survey.
