Roman Engineering

Presented by: Dr. Bill Hunt

Dr. Hunt is a William Neal Reynolds Professor and Extension Specialist at North Carolina State University. His principal subject matter for research, teaching, and outreach is stormwater engineering, where his team has monitored and designed more than 300 SCMs across NC and beyond. He is author or co-author of more than 130 journal articles, 30 extension publications, and one book on Green Infrastructure Design (with Drs. Allen Davis of UMD and Rob Traver of Villanova). His second academic love is historic engineering, with a particular emphasis on Roman infrastructure. He has led multiple study tours to Southern Europe for professionals, in addition to teaching a study abroad class each May in either Italy or Spain. He is a registered PE in NC. Dr. Hunt is the proud, amused and often worn-out, father of 5.

About the Presentation:

Much of America's engineering has its foundation in that of the Roman Empire. Romans are widely regarded as antiquity's greatest engineers and their works are still visible in such buildings as the Pantheon in Rome, the Pont du Gard aqueduct in France, the famous Colosseum, and the world's oldest road (the Appian Way). Please join admitted Romano-phile, Dr. Bill Hunt, as we virtually explore the engineering wonders of the Roman Republic and Empire. This talk is both a history lesson and a celebration of Civil Engineering marvels that have withstood the test of time. There are 2,000-year-old lessons awaiting us modern engineers.
