The civil engineering traditions include the Wielki family. In 1961 Norbert Wielki graduated from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, now his granddaughter Malwina Wielka studies here.
– I started my studies in 1955. I remember the time of my studies with sentiment, although it was difficult, because it was post-war time. We did not have the same knowledge as we do today. We used the scripts and what the teachers told us. Most of them were professors from Lviv, whom I remember very well – said Mr. Norbert. Â
– I never regretted having chosen this faculty and this profession. Although it was a big responsibility, it is also a great satisfaction, the opportunity to work for the society and leave something to future generations – he added.Â
After graduation, Mr. Norbert worked both on construction sites and in design offices, also abroad.
Civil Engineering was chosen by Mr. Norbert’s granddaughter – Malwina Wielka, who is studying for the third year and is also the Chairman of the Council of the Student Self- Government of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology.
– I told my grandfather about the fact that I chose to study civil engineering when I already knew that I would get to this faculty Grandfather was very pleased. Now she supports me, helps me in projects, shares knowledge – says the student.
-I like my field of studies very much. We have interesting classes, scientific projects, the opportunity to choose specialization. I appreciate it very much, that is why I will also do my master’s degree at this faculty – emphasized Ms. Malwina.
