Historic Civil Engineering Landmark Program
The Historic Civil Engineering Landmark Program recognizes historically significant local, national, and international civil engineering projects, structures, and sites. See the complete list of national and international landmarks.
ASCE’s History and Heritage Committee leads this major initiative as well as the following related activities.
History and Heritage Awards
To promote the visibility of civil engineering history, ASCE offers history and heritage-related awards at both the
national and the Section level.
Symposia and Publications
On occasion, ASCE and the History and Heritage Committee produce history symposia and accompanying proceedings, such as one for the Hoover Dam’s 75th anniversary in October 2010 and for the
200th anniversary of the birth of John A. Roebling – the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge – which was held in October 2006 near the bridge.
ASCE also offers many books that look back at the history of civil engineering in all its facets, from biographies of some of the legends, to the role of women, to technical looks at the advancement of engineering approaches and technologies.
