Joined the construction field after graduation, and currently pursuing professional registration.

BTech Arch – Cape Tech. BEng & MScEng – Stellenbosch University.

I moved to Oslo, Norway, in 2006 and have worked at Holte AS (AEC software), Veidekke Entreprenør AS (Scandinavias largest construction company), Miros AS (Radar based oil spill detection systems) and Helsedirektoratet (Health Directorate). Currently I am working at Syscom AS as the technical architect. Since moving to Norway I have always worked with informatics and is currently exploring the exciting world of the “Internet of Things”. My favourite quote is: “Software is eating the world” by Marc Andreessen.

All companies, whether they like it or not, are turning into technology companies. Therefore I am very glad I studied Civil Engineering Informatics at Stellebosch University.

After graduating, I worked in the industry for 20 years in Highways, Airports, Power Stations and Township development as a consultant. Then I decided to go back to university. I studied CEM from 2014-2016 and graduated with MEng (Cum Laude). Currently working as Assistant Resident Engineer on the Kazungula Bridge connecting the Republic of Zambia with the Republic of Botswana across the Zambezi River.

Marie Grace Umumararungu is an engineer with deep experience and expertise in hydraulics structures special in producing the existing hydraulic model and normalization the water network, analysis and design of water distribution systems and construction of the road, works as an external consultant to the different company. She received her Civil Engineering and Environmental Technology Bachelor degree from University of Rwanda, College of Science and Technology, formerly Kigali Institute of Science and Technology in 2012. After two years of engineering practice, she continued her education at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa where she received her Masters of Engineering in 2016. Since 2016, She is an active member of the Rwanda Association of Women in Science and Engineering (RAWISE) which is encouraging more Rwandan women to pick interest in and join science and engineering fields. She is also a member of the Organization for Women in Science for the developing world (OWSD) with the objective of strengthening the role of women scientists from the developing and developed worlds in the development process and promoting their representation in scientific and technological leadership, since 2016. She joined WATER FIRST, an international program directed by COACh organization, which work around the globe to increase the number and success of women in science and engineering careers.

I am member of the class of ’86 BEng graduates, and MEng in ’90. After 6 years working as Research Engineer in structural engineering, I returned to Stellenbosch as lecturer in 1992. After a stint in Delft, The Netherlands (1995-2001) for a PhD at Civil Engineering and subsequently as Researcher at Architectural Engineering, I returned to be SU as professor.

I look forward to hearing from class mates and students on this forum, and meeting with you occasionally!

I am employed at Stellenbosch University as professor with a research focus on construction materials. I know the difference between cement and concrete 🙂

I studied a undergraduate degree in civil engineering at Stellenbosch between 2012 and 2015. During the course of my studies I participated in various student structures, such as being an elected member of the engineering student council for 2012/13 and an active class representative from 2014-2015.

I have two years (2016-2017) of work experience in stormwater engineering at AECOM and will be pursuing a masters degree in transportation on a full time basis at Stellenbosch from 2018 onward.

I am currently based at the University of Stellenbosch as a hydraulic lecturer. I worked for Aurecon (Cape Town) and was involved mainly in the fields of water engineering, focusing primarily on water treatment, water resource management and water services. I was the RE on site for the first Bio-filtration Water Treatment Plant in South Africa, located at the Preekstoel Water Treatment Works in Hermanus.

Currently employed by Transnet Capital Projects.

Studied 2008-2011
Working in the Eastern Cape

After graduation I spent 6 years in industry, primarily with Structural work.

I returned to the University in January 2014 and have since really enjoyed getting to know the staff and students better… I am also looking forward to the challenges of doing a Phd!
