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

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.

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

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.
