What is planning? Regardless of whether you are planning a community or capital investment in civil infrastructure, the formula is the same. 1) Assess where you are. 2) Determine where you want to be. 3)Identify the gaps. 4) Identify the steps to close the gaps.
| When I was applying to undergraduate school, my dad who was then the Executive Director/CEO of ASCE encouraged me to consider civil engineering. At the time, I did not know what it meant to be a civil engineer; all I knew was I wanted to improve people’s quality of life and make a difference in the world. Through my coursework and research experiences, I found my passion in sustainability planning. Sustainability planning is looking at holistic solutions that address the financial, environmental, and community needs in balance with each other. |
