Recognizing civil engineering's impact on society

摘要

Did you flip a light switch this morning? Turn on the tap to brush your teeth? Did you get in a car, bus or train to go to work? A civil engineer is responsible for the energy, water, transportation, and other infrastructure systems that are used every day.Each year the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) recognizes outstanding civil engineering projects that have made a contribution to society, new applications of innovative technology that demonstrate research and development transferred into practice, and the exceptional leaders that made it all possible.
