TESTIMONIALS2008 PROGRAM DOWNLOAD CENTER
The Program in ROMAN STRUCTURES was jointly developed by University of Rochester's Department of Mechanical Engineering and Department of Religion and Classics to introduce students to the buildings and engineering structures of ancient Rome, to the engineering principles underlying their design and construction, and to the social world of the Romans that produced them.
At its sixth edition, the 2008 Program is devoted to the study of Roman civil engineering from the late Republic to the late Empire in the city of Rome and in surrounding locations. The program is three-week long and will be conducted in Italy by Dr. Renato Perucchio, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Rochester.
There are no prerequisites to the program. The academic content was designed for non engineering students. The program is self-contained and welcomes students from every part of the College.
