Applicability of Green Engineering Solutions

July 10, 2020 By EMI

This is a guest blog by Chris Jackson

Green EngineeringToday, the world is facing environmental problems such as climate change, high energy costs, and pollution-related illnesses. These issues have prompted engineers and architects to develop green solutions. Designed to be more environmentally friendly, new residential and commercial buildings and renovations are now able to reduce emissions, energy consumption, and illnesses. While the use of sustainable practices is currently a hot trend in both renovation and new construction, it was actually developed more than 50 years ago, when only few builders and designers gave this idea little thought.

One of the popular sustainable solutions includes green engineering. To learn more about green engineering, this article by Best Access Doors is something that you should check out.

The Engineering Management Institute to Launch This Week in Civil Engineering

February 26, 2020 By EMI

This Week in Civil EngineeringRidgewood, NJ – The civil engineering industry is busier than ever, and with the failing infrastructure, climate change, and other world challenges, it will only get busier.

While it’s important for civil engineering professionals to stay up to date with industry news – who has the time?  Between project meetings, conference calls and site visits, civil engineers can’t afford to lose any of their billable time.

The solution…

In this episode of The Engineering Career Coach podcast, I talk to  Tori Thomas, who is a strategic analyst intern at Organica Water about an article she wrote on LinkedIn regarding a disagreement she had with her boss. She explains to us what her goal was when writing the article and how it has affected her, and her internship ever since. We also talk about the passion she has for engineering at such a young age and the importance of using social media in your engineering career for personal branding.

Global Sustainability

In episode 99 of The Civil Engineering Podcast, I talk with Dr. Marlene Kanga, who is the current President of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) about the business of engineering for sustainability. This is the second episode in a 3-part special global sustainability series that will both introduce you to and focus on the Global Engineering Congress 2018, taking place October 22nd through 26th in London at the Institution of Civil Engineering’s (ICE) Headquarters.

Here are some of the questions I ask Dr. Kanga in this global sustainability episode:

  • This is the Federation’s 50th anniversary — what does this mean to you both professionally and personally?
  • What was it that drew you to WFEO and has kept you so actively involved over the years?
  • As WFEO encourages national and international members to collaborate in their contributions to solving global problems, what role do you see diversity playing in this effort?
  • Why is the WFEO event important to the civil engineering profession, and what do you think should be one of the main takeaways from this event?
  • What do you feel requires the immediate attention of the engineering profession’s resources to attack and to solve?
  • Who are the typical attendees at one of these Global Engineering Congress events?  What advice can you provide on how a participant should best prepare to come ready to actively participate in the event?
  • We’ve been talking about the sustainable development goals, what other roles does WFEO play on behalf of the engineering profession?
  • How do you keep your professional diary straight and know where to focus your mental energies?

Climate Change

In episode 87 of  The Civil Engineering Podcast, which is the second episode of our 5 episode Infrastructure Series, I talk with Professor Bilal M. Ayyub, PhD, PE, Dist.M.ASCE from the University of Maryland about how civil engineers can adapt to climate change and its effects on infrastructure.

Engineering Quotes:

Climate Change

Here are some of the questions I ask Professor Bilal:

  • Tell us more about risk mitigation in general.
  • How will you assess an existing piece of infrastructure against potential climate change concerns?
  • Does the government assess certain points of existing infrastructure that are more susceptible to climate change than others?
  • How do you analyze the risk associated with something as variable as climate change?
  • How can civil engineers move towards more climate-resilient designs?

Here are some key points discussed on climate change and its effects on infrastructure:
