American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC)’s Post

#Engineering and #PublicWorks matter! Watch our execs from ACEC, APWA Government Affairs, and the American Society of Civil Engineers explain the value our professionals deliver to society during the most recent stop of the Engineering and Public Works Roadshow: https://bit.ly/3Sh4imE

Today we celebrate licensed Professional Engineers (PE) across the Country. It’s the stamp of a PE that sets a project into motion and begins the process of building America’s Infrastructure. #theDGLdifference #CivilEngineering #TransportationEngineering #TrafficEngineering #StructuralEngineering #SiteandFacilityDevelopment #ConstructionEngineering #LandSurveying 

"Happy Engineers Week and Presidents Day from AIX Group! As we celebrate the achievements of engineers, we're reminded of the legacy of George Washington, who was not only a founding father but also a skilled engineer. His work and leadership inspire us as we continue to provide construction management and civil engineering services, shaping the future of infrastructure. Let's also take this time to encourage and support the next generation of engineers. Together, we can inspire young minds to pursue careers in engineering and build a better future. #EngineersWeek #PresidentsDay #AIXGroup #EngineeringLegacy #FutureEngineers"

If you already know that you want to become an engineer, but not yet which type of engineer: it might help to watch The Map of Engineering ... This map made by Dominic Walliman provides an excellent overview of the different Engineering disciplines.

Chapter 61G15, Florida Administrative Code, contains the rules that govern the practice of engineering in Florida. Check out the latest updates by FBPE as of May 28, 2024.

From the micro to the macro, Fariborz Maseeh's transformational investment has set the stage for Texas Engineers to confront the world's most critical problems. In what he calls "engineering of the big," Maseeh believes that engineers must tackle important societal problems, and it takes an educational culture of big-picture thinking and innovation to do that. Read about Maseeh's investment in the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, and courageous engineers.

Engineering Solutions for Net Zero “At this workshop, industry leaders will be brainstorming on critical new initiatives needed over the next 10+ years to drive towards zero carbon within the structural engineering profession and the AEC industry.” Thanks to my friend and colleague David O. Prevatt, I have added to my understanding of how engineers approach zero carbon transition. Here are three lessons for finance 1. Innovation takes time, budget and is never guaranteed. It starts with these careful and well considered basic scientific and engineering discourses years before any outputs are put into application. Summary: do tech forecasting and talent mapping by being in these spaces 2. The vocabulary and incentives for scientists and engineers differ markedly from Wall Street analysts and so understanding the lifecycle of solution development is key. Summary: educate yourself about lifecycle processes, failure rates and costs for diffusion and adoption. That will improve your models. 3. Understand the industry and various segments so that your net zero analysis is nuanced, and granular. Summary: do the work - avoid the hand waving Net zero transition and low carbon in the built environment is important from both a mitigation and adaptation viewpoint.

🚧 Big Steps in Highway Engineering! A few weeks ago, I was at a special event for the INSTITUTE OF HIGHWAY ENGINEERS with The University of Salford. We talked about how important highway engineers are in building and fixing roads that connect places and help our economy grow. To those starting out in this field, your work is really important. You’ll help make travel better, safer, and greener for everyone. Keep asking questions, learning new things, and coming up with smart ideas. Working well with others is also key to doing great things in highway engineering. Every road or bridge you work on can make a big difference in how people live and get around. Yes, it’s a big challenge, but you can do a lot of good through your work. At the event, it was great to see my old colleague/friend from WSP in the UK especially Kateryna Kryshkevych MSc MCIHT. She’s teaching students and working on her PhD, which is awesome. Good luck to you! If you’re curious about highway engineering or have questions, feel free to ask. The INSTITUTE OF HIGHWAY ENGINEERS is here to help you succeed. Let’s work together to build a better and more connected future! 🌟🌍 #highwayengineering #environment #civilengineering #makeadifference #learning #teamwork #futureengineers #roadsafety #buildbetter #engineeringcareers

Join me tomorrow at the Engineering Club where I and some fantastic panelists will discuss sewage. https://lnkd.in/eVghcAKD Infrastructure has long been overlooked by society – and architecture, and design – probably because of its invisible and consequently normalized quality, but now in this moment of breakdown – it allows us as a society to think more expansively about what is and should be a sewage infrastructure capable of taking us into the future. The current crisis in the UK is first and foremost a political problem. There is zero accountability and responsibility and until that changes nothing will change. But this incompetence, arguable criminality, is fuelled by a lack of ideas, creativity, and an approach that looks at our current system for solutions and not elsewhere. I will hightlighting an example close to where I live where 19 million pounds has been spent to not solve the problem. I think solutions are to be found in thinking what infrastructure for public good looks like. Asking how investment – when it comes – isn’t just fixing our effluent overflow crisis but also making significant social, cultural and civic contributions... connecting citizens back to our environments and our waste. Our infrastructure crises can easily be solved when we see it not as a static pipe but as an agent of change, a celebration of public patronage when so much of our public life is being eroded. We should not forget : “The sewer is the conscience of the city.”
