2019 Civil Engineering Education Summit

 

Over 200 civil engineering educators, practitioners, and guests convened at the Civil Engineering Education Summit in Dallas, Texas, in May 2019 to consider the future of civil engineering education. The group discussions and workshops produced four major objectives for engineering educational systems:

  • Reexamine and potentially redefine the domain of civil engineering
  • Elevate professional skills to an equal footing with technical skills
  • Develop a diverse, inclusive, equitable, and engaging culture within the civil engineering profession
  • Foster an ongoing commitment to transformative education
