Today was the first day of our class. Professor Daniele Peila (Coordinator of this course and Vice President of International Tunnelling Association) gave an overview of the course content and the grading system. Tentative site visit plans to Germany, Austria and Switzerland was discussed. Professor Daniele Peila has decided to club Master thesis defense presentation with an National conference on Tunnelling which is due to be held in Turin, Italy. Personally, I feel, it will be a great opportunity for all the students as this will be an amazing platform to "sell" ourselves in front of the who's who of the industry.
Later, we had an usual round of introduction with all the participants of the course. I am very excited to interact and learn from each of the classmates. There is a very good mix of students from different parts of the world, different backgrounds and different experience levels. Couple of PhD students from Politecnico di Torino are also attending the course as a precursor to their thesis in Tunnelling and Geomechanics.
At this point I also want to thank sponsors of our course:
