ASCE-BR to Air Add Promoting Civil Engineering:
January 30th, 2008
The Baton Rouge Branch will be running the video titled “Zoom
into Engineering”, previously prepared by the Acadiana Branch, to reach the elementary
and middle school students and their parents in
Baton Rouge The Branch plans to run this video on
local cable television channels during National Engineers Week —
It is the goal of the Branch and this video
to inform these students and their parents in order to attract future generations
of civil engineers who may not otherwise consider this profession as a viable career
choice. Unfortunately, many young people and/or
their parents do not know or understand what civil engineering is or what civil
engineers do. This video highlights some of the many fields and opportunities
associated with civil engineering thereby satisfying the Branch’s objective to place
the term civil engineering into the mainstream of public discourse and make it a
household word. This opens the opportunities for students who may otherwise
never hear of or appreciate civil engineering as a profession. It comes at
a critical stage in their education when they need to consider and begin preparing
for an education and career in civil engineering.
