Wow, what a day! Surveying is one of the most important attribute of Civil Engineering/Construction. Today's lesson was well learnt.
Since City College of New York does not have a surveying course, Skanska agreed to teach the students of CCNY what surveying is. To educate us, Skanska needed a site to portray the importance of surveying and what better is the Second Ave subway project that is being constructed now.
In the beginning of the lesson, our one hour lecture was given by the Senior Survey Engineer of Skanska, Danuta Czerski. Danuta Czerski taught us the ins and outs of what the essence of surveying is all about. "The surveyor team is the first to start a project and the last to finish it," quoting Danuta Czerski. She is right because without surveyors, projects would utter ably be a disaster.
After of which, we were all able to head 6 stories below the daily traffic of Second Ave to meet the two tunnels that are being excavated by a tunnel boring machine (TBM) 24/7. Explanations of this site were given to us by Danuta Czerski, Christopher Kohr (Engineer of Skanska), and Professor Vincent Tirolo (Chief Engineer of Skanska).
A few hours later, City College of New York students knew exactly what surveying meant to a project after experiencing the wonders of the Second Ave Subway. They were also very ecstatic that they were able to partake in this experience.

It's time for new members to join the society.
On Tuesday, April 27th 2010, a total of 10 new Civil Engineers were inducted into the Civil Engineering Honors Society. It was held at our very own Faculty Dining Hall in the North Academic Center (NAC) building.
Members of Chi Epsilon attended along with CEAG personals. As a special ...
The new members are listed at the home page of the website.
To our new members, welcome and hold the honor of this society as a part of you in this world.
Attached are some pictures from the event. |

Continued Q&A Session on the Future of Engineering
And
Ethics in Engineering
Join us this coming Thursday, April 8th, from 12:15PM-1:50 PM in ST 105 (conference room) for a seminar hosted by Civil Engineering Alumni Group members Daniel Dicker, Jack Seidman, Clifford Gold, and Bernie Haber. The event will be a continuation of the Q&A portion of the Future of Civil Engineering event held on March 18th during the first half hour (bring your questions), as well as providing a new discussion on ethical problems in engineering.
Click Here to get the preliminary lecture outline for the event!
Because students did not have a chance to ask questions during the March 18th event on the Future of the Civil Engineering Profession, we are dedicating some time on the April 8th event to answer the following list of questions:
- What is the role of engineers in shaping policy?
- Today’s staffs are growing larger to produce the same designs as before. Is engineering caught in a bureaucratic web?
- Are small engineering firms doing private projects dying?
- What parts of the country are hot for jobs? Where will the growth most likely be, and in which sectors?
- Is the current state of engineering one that is dominated more by the politicians and financiers in the country than by the engineers? Does the authority now lie with the engineers, contractors, unions, politicians, or financiers? Such trends are different for engineers in other countries (in Europe for example, engineers are seen throughout government).
- How are the politicians and engineers getting along in a country that went through a long period of distrusting engineers and technology (the 1950’s until now)?
- What’s the future for the job market as costs of developing soar? Are we in store for fewer public works projects, and more engineers collaborating on fewer projects?
- What can be done to make projects more cooperative? It seems that every individual interest is always seeking to leverage the projects for their own gain.
- What can we expect to see moving forward? Should we expect more joint efforts, more public/private partnerships on projects, and engineers branching into politics?
Hope to see you on April 8th for another exciting and provocative seminar!!
