Applications of Drones in AEC
As engineering professionals, we continually seek innovative ways to improve our industry, enhance efficiency, and ensure the safety of the public. In recent years, the utilization of drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) has emerged as a very useful technology with significant implications in AEC. Today, I would like to summarize some of our top episodes from […]
Applications of Technology to Enhance Public Safety
As engineering professionals, we have a responsibility to protect the safety, health, and welfare of the public. Part of this duty entails inspection and maintenance of existing infrastructure. Some jurisdictions require inspection and maintenance at periodic intervals to ensure that the public is kept safe while in and around these assets. For example, New York […]
Applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Built World
Image by Freepik Civil engineers are designers and builders of many things in the built world, including buildings, roads, bridges, dams, ports, and many others. No matter the asset, whether new or existing, there is a lot of work to be done — and with what seems like never enough resources. Fortunately, applications of […]
Reality Capture: The Future of AEC Technology
Image by Freepik Civil engineers are designers and builders of many things in the built environment, including roads, bridges, dams, ports, and many others. No matter the asset, our plans need to be brought to life — which includes capture of data and reporting. The way that data in the built environment can be […]
The Intersection of the Built-World and Digital Technologies
Image by creativeart on Freepik Civil engineers are designers and builders of many things in the built environment, including roads, bridges, dams, and ports. No matter the asset, maintenance is required. However, the way that maintenance plans are put together and communicated to owners is changing. Today, I would like to summarize some […]
The 90-9-1 Rule for Civil Engineering Content Creators

Leveraging Social Media to Boost Your Personal Engineering Brand
Image by Freepik Civil engineers bring a diverse set of viewpoints, skills, and knowledge to the table. Because of the impact our work has on society, there are many benefits to sharing our expertise outside of our day-to-day work – for our professional colleagues, our clients, and the general public. Today, I would […]
The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Civil Engineering Asset Management
