As a graduate at Lethbridge College’s Engineering Design and Drafting Technology program, testing innovative, economical, and ecological materials was our focus when researching the merits of bamboo as a viable alternative to steel rebar in concrete. As a member of our research team, I strive to accomplish meaningful research to use of such materials and their applications.
