WHAT DRIVES ME PERSONALLY•Satisfaction that I’ve done something good.•Feeling that others can be inspired by what we do every day.•Gives me a place to voice myself and turn ideas into reality.•Deep down, I consider it a duty of our profession and an extension of my “real job”.WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

BSCES / ASCE STRATEGIC INITIATIVESInfrastructure

Propose 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.Sustainability

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?WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

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?

Sustainability

Embrace 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?WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

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…”WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

1. Gain Knowledge AND WISDOM

2. Be the Steward and the Voice

3. Assure that the Next Generation Follows

BE LEADERS AND MENTORSWWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

Our Role As Stewards of the Infrastructure and Environment

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

leadership skills•There WILL be a next generation of

enthusiastic stewards.

Our part in Educational Outreach(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.• Outreach activities are just one part

• Becoming an active community member• Be an advocate for improvement

WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

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.

How Outreach Ties to Leadership

•As we inspire others, we become leaders.•BSCES & ASCE recognize the value of K-12

outreach and have developed great resources

Any outreach activity or even career advice

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

WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

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

WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

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.

WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

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

WWW.BSCES.ORGWWW.ENGINEERYOURFUTURE.ORGJOIN BSCES AND ASCE ON LINKEDIN!

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.
