ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers:

Now and Future Generations

Page 2: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

As Civil Engineers are trained around the globe they need not only the requisite technical skills, but also a sense of environmental stewardship and an appreciation for the social environment.

•The technical skills get taken seriously.

•Do we inspire the sense of Stewardship?

Page 3: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

David Lapin says:

“We do work that matters.”

There are 2 sides of us – the instinct and the heroic. Are employers feeding the heroic?

We don’t really work just for money.

Page 4: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

The FUTURE Global Engineer’s Strategic PrioritiesTaking ASCE’s strategies ONE STEP FURTHER. Presently:

InfrastructurePropose practical solutions to improve our neglected

infrastructure.

Raise the bar Establish educational and legal standards necessary to prepare

professional engineers to address the future's most pressing challenges.

SustainabilityEmbrace civil engineers' role as contributors to a sustainable

world.

Page 5: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

InfrastructurePropose practical solutions to improve America's

neglected infrastructure.

• No question, we need technical skills.

• Is a sustainable solution possible without a sincere effort to instill a sense of infrastructure stewardship?

• Where will that sense come from?

Page 6: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

Raise the bar Establish educational and legal standards

necessary to prepare professional engineers to address the future's most pressing challenges.

•Technical skills will improve .

•Will additional coursework inspire and instill a sense of infrastructure stewardship?

Page 7: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

SustainabilityEmbrace civil engineers' role as contributors to a

sustainable world.Sustainability requires inspired, forward thinking

professionals dedicated to stewardship of our built and natural environment.

•Are we the best contributors we can be?•Will the Next Generation embrace it?

Page 8: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

The Global Civil Engineer

Sustainability – Wikipedia says:“Sustainability is the capacity to endure through

renewal, maintenance, and sustenance, or nourishment...”

“For humans…, sustainability is the long-term maintenance of responsibility, which has

environmental, economic, and social dimensions, and encompasses the concept of stewardship…”

Page 9: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

The Global Civil Engineer

Sustainability•We are asking for a change in the

way we ALL live•Far beyond the classic concept of

education.

Page 10: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

The Global Civil Engineer

Our Role As Stewards of the Environment

1. Gain Knowledge AND WISDOM2. Be the Steward and the Voice

3. Assure that the Next Generation FollowsBE LEADERS AND MENTORS

Page 11: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

The Global Civil Engineer•Are we the best contributors we can be?•Will the Next Generation embrace it?

• We become better contributors as we strengthen our own communication and

leadership skills•There WILL be a next generation of

enthusiastic stewards.

Page 12: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

Our part in STEM Education(Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)

•US is ranking poorly vs. other nations•US losing competitive edge on other countries•People not understanding or appreciating the

technology they use daily.

Page 13: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

Our part in STEM Education(Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)

•Outreach activities are just one part•Becoming an active community member

•Be an advocate for improvement

Page 14: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

Why Civil Engineering Plays A Lead Role•Infrastructure technologies among the most

readily understandable•It is easy to show how important a role civil

engineering plays and how the profession helps.

Page 15: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

How Outreach Ties to Leadership

•As we inspire others, we become leaders.•ASCE recognizes the value of K-12 outreach and

has developed great resources•Lauren will tell her story.

“Good to know that someone else has experienced similar successes and/or problems”

“This was my first time to Mentor - sharing what other teams are doing and talking through issues was helpful”

Page 37: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

Be a Mentor and a LeaderSTEM Education Advocacy – How it works in MA

•All of STEM in the frameworks•Engineering even has its own MCAS questions

•All schools hungry for STEM activities•Teachers often have limited knowledge of

certain STEM facets

Page 38: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

Be a Mentor and a LeaderSTEM Education Advocacy – How it works in MA

•In-school STEM very different than after.•Agreed that schools focus on STEM as a whole

•MA divided into 7 STEM networks•Regional Employment boards take lead with

Dept of Education•All STEM Professional Societies band together

Page 39: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

Be a Mentor and a LeaderSTEM Education Advocacy – How it works in MA•All STEM networks, education leaders and appropriate government officials meet with

Lieutenant Governor quarterly.•All in attendance VERY interested in the

viewpoint of industry.•The STEM Sox hold the viewpoint of the STEM

professionals, versus businesses.

Page 40: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

Be a Mentor and a LeaderSTEM Education Advocacy – Food for Thought•The Lt. Governor meets with us regularly.•The Sec. of Labor, Sec. of Transp. regularly

appear at events with us•We talk to people regularly about infrastructure•STEM ED ADVOCACY IS A GREAT WAY TO COMMUNICATE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS

Page 41: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

A Coordinated VisionThe world is a system.

ASCE gives us a home to work together internationally.

Locally, we can all work with other STEM professional societies.

Integrate outreach into corporate culture and career paths.

Page 42: WELCOME TO THE ASCE 142 ND ANNUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE Global Civil Engineers: Now and Future Generations.

The Coordinated Vision: Tough Questions

•Does the present career path of a civil engineers promote this?

•Are there enough hours in a day?•How can we assure that we have this skill set?
