Bridging The Gap

By

For those of us that are still students we know that there is  a gap between the classroom and the real word.

I'm a Civil Engineering student, everyday we learn a lot of theories and a lot of classroom stuff but we are always yearning to see how they how they apply to the real world.'
So my exciting course mates and I, Civil Engineering '19 Covenant University pushed for a way to close this gap and we suggested more field experience. Thanks to our listening lecturers we were able to visit Covenant University's Sport Complex Site.


Not to bore you with the engineering review, it's an ultramodern sporting facility with two stands and a capacity of about 7000 seats, 8-lane track and a lot more games facilities. 

 We were able to see different ways the theories we learn are applied. My biggest take back from this field trip is that one has to be ready for any situation and we must be able to apply our ingenuity to different situations to solve problems.

 The project is due to be completed by the end of this year and I look forward to playing my final year league there.

Share your thoughts about bridging the gap between the classroom and the real world.

Why you shouldn't resist change

By
What is Change?  **smiles** The word change is a very familiar word to our society, but I am not talking about that kind of change now. Change simply put by me is disrupting the normal. Thinking in an unconventional way or challenging old beliefs. However, our belief system is so strong that in order to play safe we choose to shy away from change. Resistance to change is universal, across every race, gender and so on. People find it hard to accept different ways of doing things. I started reading this book Developing the Leader within you by John Maxwell, and I've begun to see reasons why we should accept change. Here's a true story from the book: Resisting change can unwittingly affect  one’s health and life, as  the following account portrays. Hippocrates described scurvy in  ancient times. The disease seemed to especially plague armies in  the field and cities that were under siege for  long periods of time.  Later, following the discove...
