ASCE Climate Intelligence in Standards and Practice Committee (CISP) Looking for Civil Engineering Practitioners
CISP, a subcommittee under ASCE's Committee for Adaptation to a Changing Climate, is seeking volunteer members who are interested in guiding the development of continuing education content for civil engineers in climate resilience (practicing civil engineers, in particular, are encouraged to volunteer). Among other charges, the committee will be considering content needed for short digital offerings, for one-hour webinars on individual topics, for day-long or multi-day on-line seminars on climate resilience, and on the need and market for certificates or certifications in climate resilience. Members of all ASCE Institutes are welcome. If interested, please contact Jay Snyder.
Submit your content proposal for ASCE2027
Prepare yourself for ASCE2027: The Infrastructure & Engineering Experience, a new flagship event for civil engineers and all infrastructure leaders to explore provocative topics, deep technical content, and up-to-date cross- and multi-disciplinary content. And you can build the future with us by sharing your expertise during the event! A call for content is now open for ASCE2027. See which of the conference’s seven key themes your submission fits!
