Historic Home Fulfills Futuristic Vision in the Present

By Chad Morrison posted 05-22-2023
One of the many benefits of attending an ASCE event, is the opportunity to check out the local sights. This year's Construction Institute Summit ( cisummit.org ) was held in St. Louis, offering no less than the Gateway Arch as an attraction. It was also here in the Midwest, where designer R. Buckminster Fuller found inspiration for his vision for affordable and efficient housing solutions as he spotted silos across the farmland. Fuller (1895-1983) is best described as a designer, inventor, and author, rather than an architect or engineer as we define those roles today. A recognized thinker of his time, he was ultimately awarded the Presidential ...

Maximizing your conference experience

By Nicolai Oliden posted 08-22-2022
I haven’t attended an in-person conference since 2019. Covid really put a hold on most in-person events, especially large conferences. I am excited to attend two conferences over the next two months and thought I’d share some of my top conference tips with you. If you do anything that isn’t listed, I’d love to hear about it in the comments. 1-Research who is going Once I register for a conference, I message some work friends and past connections to see if they will be there. This gives you a chance to gameplan who you want to say hi to or take out for a meal. 2-Research the dress code Dress codes vary depending on region or purpose of the conference. ...

Inflation squeezing your salary?

By Nicolai Oliden posted 05-19-2022
It is no secret that the cost of goods has increased dramatically over the past couple of years. Inflation has put a squeeze on my income and if you’re still breathing, I assume it has for you too. I paid $75 to fill up my little car with gas this week. I was very used to that costing $40 or less. My family of five used to spend about $700 each month on groceries to eat comfortably. This month we will spend $1,400 on groceries and our eating habits have not changed. Inflation has significantly impacted what and how much I can buy. I graduated in 2008. Since then, I’ve experienced many things beyond our control that impacted our financial situation. We can’t ...

Demand for Welding Contractors in the Construction Sector

By Lucas Murray posted 02-13-2022
Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials together through the application of high levels of heat. It’s a major part of construction and most buildings cannot be erected without the involvement of this activity. As a result, welding contractors experience high levels of demand in the construction industry. The main purpose of welding is to create a strong connection that can support high levels of resistance. This objective is accomplished by melting the extreme ends of the parts to be connected before hammering them together to essentially form a single unit. Welding is a skilled trade and most experienced experts will possess some form of recognized ...

Tips for Mentees: to Work it Out or “Break Up” with My Mentor?

By Silky Wong posted 01-26-2022
A functional mentorship experience is exceptionally rewarding, as both the mentors and the mentees can appreciate their own professional growth due to mutually agreed interactions. At times, however, an agreed-upon mentorship might not work out as expected. Common reasons that lead to an unsatisfactory mentor-mentee relationship are lack of effective communication in the relationship, flawed guidance from the mentor, lack of understanding of the mentee’s needs, changed mentoring goals by the mentee such that the mentor can longer provide support, insufficient time spent in nurturing the mentorship, lack of feedback, and periodic reviews of the mentorship. ...
