    With the volatility of the current COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on employees and the workplace, ASCE is organizing a series of virtual roundtables to help civil engineers during this difficult and uncertain time. We'll bring together a panel of civil engineering leaders to share insights and answer questions on a variety of topics throughout April. Every Thursday at 3 p.m. EDT, ASCE will host a virtual roundtable on a new topic.

    We want to hear from you. What COVID-19 related topics would you like to see discussed?

    It would be better to discuss the future of Construction industry in Covid-19 like situation. Secondly, How could Civil Engineers overcome the hardships of people in any biological disaster?

    It'd be great to hear about how to get jobs in the US as an international student/graduate, especially since COVID-19 has made the process much more difficult.
