City of Brisbane Associate Civil Engineer Receives Honor from National Civil Engineering Society

Reston, Va.—When you look around the City of Brisbane, Calif., you can see the direct impact Mathew Lee's work has had on the local community. In recognition of his contributions, this 26-year-old was recently named a New Face of Civil Engineering by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). An integral part of ASCE's 2007 National Engineers Week (Feb. 18-24) celebration, the program promotes the achievements of young civil engineers by highlighting their contributions and impact on society.

Currently serving as associate civil engineer with the City of Brisbane, Calif., Lee recently implemented a five-year pavement maintenance program that has significantly increased the city's overall pavement condition index. In addition, Lee managed projects that improved the community such as construction of a dog park, a community garden, a basketball court, at-grade crossings for a walking trail, and a public restroom. His efforts have also included the addition of a solar thermal heating system for the community pool, an emergency operations radio system and a handicap ramp transition plan.

Lee earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the University of California-Davis and is completing his final semester for a master's degree in structural/earthquake engineering from San Francisco State University. A licensed professional engineer in California, he is a long time resident of San Francisco

ASCE's nominees were also submitted to the national New Faces of Engineering program run by the Engineers Week Foundation. The national program includes representatives from the civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, industrial and manufacturing engineering professions. Selected New Faces profiles will be featured in a USA Today ad during Engineers Week and will be profiled on the National Engineers Week Web site at www.eweek.org, as well as at www.discoverengineering.org.

Founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 140,000 civil engineers worldwide and is America's oldest national engineering society. For more information on ASCE, please visit www.asce.org.
