TRADA Technology has appointed Dr Andy Pitman to the new role of TRADA Universities Engagement Manager. Support will be offered to teaching staff at the 200 plus universities delivering Architecture, Design and Engineering courses in the UK, by way of teaching materials available through the internet and specialist lectures.
Chief Executive Andrew Abbott said, ‘This post is designed to ensure that today's construction students become tomorrow's TRADA members. In addition TRADA will work with a select number of universities and regional TRADA members to develop research projects relating to the use of wood. Our recent universities' survey showed there to be a real appetite for construction in natural materials and the time is right for TRADA to fill this gap.'
TRADA's involvement with the Knowledge Transfer Network on Renewable Materials ties in with the new appointment, he added. Dr Pitman will continue as TRADA Technology Technical Manager alongside his new role.'
