2011 Career Day

The Central Ohio Section of ASCE held their 11th annual Civil Engineering Career Day on April 20, 2011. There were 14 high school juniors in attendance from different schools throughout Central Ohio. The day started out with representatives from Turner-Bovis Lend Lease who gave us information and site visit of the over $600 million dollar OSU ProjectONE construction. Over lunch at the OSU 4-H building, Dr. Carolyn Merry with OSU and Dr. Ken Walsh with OU presented to the students general information about civil engineering and their respective schools. We then made our way to the West Main Street Bridge Project that Franklin County is completing in Westerville where Jim Pajk and Mike Bashore educated students on bridge construction. The students provided positive feedback about their experience and their exposure to civil engineering. Thanks to all who helped make the program a success once again!
