CI Student Days: Distinctive Regional Real-world Learning Experiences

During CI Student Days events, students have the opportunity to visit active construction sites, after learning directly from various stakeholders about the project and how their roles tie together to achieve the final product.  Recognizing that networking is essential to new engineers for career development and personal growth, Student Days events also feature experienced professional engineers providing technical presentations, and representatives from leading industry corporations in "Speed Networking" sessions that are always a high point of the conference.

NCEES Announces Changes to Civil Engineering Exam

The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) introduced new specifications for its Civil Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) examination.  As part of the revised specifications, the existing water resources and environmental depth modules are being combined into one module, and a new depth module in construction engineering has been added. These changes took effect with the April 2008 exam.
