NATIONAL CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDENTS SYMPOSIUM

Paper Presentation & Poster Presentation

We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be taught, he can

be killed and forgotten but, 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. Ive witnessedfirst

handthe power of ideas, Ive seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending thembut you

cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold itideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not

love, they can only be expressed.
