Kathmandu, July 29
Nepal Engineering College (NEC) is
set to launch a subject on designing and constructing strong and sustainable
bridges in local roads in Nepal for its students studying Bachelors of
engineering.
The course will focus on enabling
the students with the knowledge of the technical aspects of the sustainable
bridge. The college will design a new curriculum to implement the course.
It signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with the Local Roads Bridges Unit (LRBU) on Thursday. LRBU is
supporting in designing and supervision of more than 100 bridges in the local
roads.
Principal of the College Prof. Dr.
Hari Krishna Shrestha, and LRBU’s Team Leader Er. Sakil Manandhar signed the
MoU.
As per the MoU, if any student
wanted to do a project on the topic, he/she would be provided with the expenses
for field visit, data collection, lodging and food.
Both the institutions expected that
the course would provide some remedy to common problem of bridges which damage
during the monsoon.
