SPN - Coast Lab, engineering careers and HE options SP102 / E01

COAST Lab and Engineering careers and HE options. All local science teachers are welcome to attend.

Visiting teachers will watch a demonstration in the Coastal, Ocean and Sediment Transport (COAST) laboratory, housed in the Marine Building at the University of Plymouth. This world class facility provides physical model testing with combined waves, currents and wind, offered at scales appropriate for environmental modelling and coastal engineering.There will also be a tour of the new Babbage building, at the University of Plymouth, which was opened at the end of 2023. The new building hosts contemporary specialist equipment andlaboratories. The aim of the space is to enable creative approaches to problem-solving to address some of the world’s biggest issues, such as climate change and healthcare. Some of the new laboratories include: STEAM Laboratories, DigiFab Laboratory, Immersive Visualisation Suite, Heavy Structures and Geotechnics Laboratory, Materials Analysis and Characterisation Laboratory, and Composites Engineering Laboratory. The cost of the new building was 63 million pounds.For more information see:https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/facilities/babbage-building andhttps://www.plymouth.ac.uk/schools/school-of-engineering-computing-and-mathematics/coast-laboratory
