Ultimate Frisbee (Southwark Park)

Taking a break before the final quizzes in ECE 301 and ME 331, twelve EIL students joined Prof. Aaron and his family in the early evening of July 4 for ultimate frisbee in Southwark Park located in Rotherhithe (central south east London).  Prof. Berry provide a brief yoga session afterwards for cool down and stretching.

Brunel Museum (Rotherhithe, London Borough of Southwark)

On Monday afternoon (July 1), the EIL students joined Profs. Berry and Aaron for a visit to the Brunel Museum at Rotherhithe on the bank of the Thames River.  In the original shaft of the tunnel (under the Thames River) that Marc and Isambard (Kingdom) Brunel designed and built, our guide (Keith) gave an excellent historical timeline for this great nineteenth century engineering achievement.  Completed in 1834, this was the world's first underwater tunnel.  Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his father, Marc Brunel, were considered by many to be the greatest engineers of Victorian England.
