Department of Civil Engineering

Warm Greetings to all!
To start with, I quote two lines from the poem ‘The Rock’ (1934) of T.S. Eliot, the great poet,
“Where is the Wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?”
“Only collecting information is not Knowledge, if not transformed. Acquired knowledge is useless if not practiced for utilization and converted to Wisdom, which is permanent.”
