Houses Made of Rubble
Thousands of homes in Haiti have been reduced to rubble by the recent earthquake there, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. Students in SPSU's Civil Engineering and Civil Engineering Technology programs have constructed a house made of rubble using a special method that can withstand earthquakes. This technology will help in earthquake relief situations.
