Just a few of my favorite things: traffic and transit engineering, high school STEM outreach, and a construction site visit!

Have you checked Talking Infrastructure's new episode yet? From achieving net zero to accelerating the energy transition, engineers will be critical to solving the world’s most pressing challenges. But what skills will they need? And how can our industry encourage, upskill and attract them? Just in time for National Apprenticeship Week, we’re diving into the skills future engineers need. Our panel of experts discuss soft skills, lifelong learning, and the shift in engineering roles. Perfect for apprentices or those early in their careers to make their mark, or professionals looking to stay ahead in the dynamic world of engineering. Gain insights from our speakers: • Dr Alice Bunn, Chief Executive of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers • Sara Venning, CEO at Northern Ireland Water • Eloise John, AECOM Energy Lead, Europe and India Click on the image below to listen to the episode. #TalkingInfrastructureS3 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #Engineer

I'm so impressed with how Kiewit fosters an environment of continuous growth. They're not just talking the talk, they're walking the walk. A perfect example of this is the 2024 Kiewit Engineering Technical Summit. This wasn't just some small workshop – it was a huge virtual event, with in-person portions. Over 2,000 employees, clients and students came together to share ideas and learn from one another. That kind of knowledge-sharing and investment in its people is what makes Kiewit such an exciting place to be an engineer. #KiewitEmployee #EngineersWeek #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment #EngineeringInnovation

"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"

Check out the latest issue of Building Science Perspective! Priya Latha and I collaborated to share our insights on how BIM is transforming facade construction for greater efficiency and precision along with some insights on how Bird Construction uses Digital construction on projects. #Construction #BIM #FacadeDesign #BuildingScience #Innovation #Sustainability

JCCC's Drafting Technology program recently welcomed members of AIA Kansas City, who presented students with strategies for building their personal brand and successful ways to start a career in the lucrative architectural field. Networking opportunities just like this are one of the many ways JCCC equips students with the skills they need to succeed. In JCCC’s Drafting Technology program, math, science, and engineering skills are essential, but working collaboratively and communicating clearly are considered vital skills, too.

Thrilled to share that I've successfully completed my second semester Master's program in Construction Engineering Management (MEM) from NED University of Engineering and Technology 🚧📚 Excited for the opportunities and growth ahead as I continue to build a solid foundation for my career. 💪 #ConstructionManagement #MastersJourney #ProfessionalGrowth"

Happy #EWeek Day 2! Sarah, a civil engineer at Chastain-Skillman, gave her input on this week's big question: How do engineers "Welcome the Future"? Check out our #EWeek blog post to read each of our spotlight engineer's thoughts on the global impact of engineering, now and far into the future! Read more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eukeRWye

The theme for National Women’s Month 2024 is “Celebrating 30 Years of Democracy Towards Women’s Development.” In our Civil Engineering Department we have lots to celebrate in this regard. Over the past three decades, female representation amongst our undergraduate students has increased from a handful of individuals to 30%. This steady stream of young women civil engineers entering the South African industry contributes to a dynamic, more inclusive, and effective civil engineering profession. In 1994 we had no female academic staff members in the Civil Engineering Department, but today, women constitute 40% of our teaching team. Having these role models is essential in creating a representative environment for our students. There are still many hurdles to clear towards fully realising women’s development, but we are certainly making progress.
