Continuing Education Committee


Committee Objective

An important objective of ASCE Pittsburgh is to build and maintain professional and technical skills for the members to better meet the needs of today’s marketplace. Continuing education is an effective tool to accomplish this goal.

Canon 7 in ASCE's Code of Ethics states:  

"Engineers shall continue their professional development throughout their careers, and shall provide opportunities for the professional development of those engineers under their supervision."  

It further reads "Engineers should keep current in their specialty fields by engaging in professional practice, participating in continuing education courses, reading in the technical literature, and attending professional meetings and seminars." Continuing education and lifelong learning are important parts of a Civil Engineer's career development and licensing requirements. Accordingly, the Continuing Education Committee's (CEC) main objective is to provide a forum for communications among members of the Pittsburgh Section, members of Technical Groups, and civil engineering educators to share knowledge and information on new practices, techniques, and other information to maintain and advance technical and professional skills of Section members.

We are always seeking new members in helping meet our committee objectives.

The main obligation of a Committee Member is to work with the Committee chair and other members in a team environment to help organize at minimum three continuing education events each year.  This may require finding suitable venues (hotels, restaurants, university auditoriums, etc.), finding speakers and sponsors, and creating event brochures.  Some members lead the event organization effort as a project manager.  Common CEC activities include (1) participation in quarterly committee meetings or conference calls, (2) participation in ongoing Email discussions, and (3) event planning and management. Engineers as well as student and faculty members are encouraged to apply.  Nominations are also welcome.  If interested,please email current chair, Justin Brooks at justinmb82@hotmail.com.
