Engineering Education Service Center Poster Contest

      (Show More Information...)

“Civil Engineering” is the theme for the EESC’s Fall 2010 poster contest. This year’s winning entry can be found in a display of inspiration, excitement, wonder and curiosity. Posters should be fun, motivational and inspire students to pursue a degree in engineering, technology, math and/or science.

Civil engineers do the work that keeps society flowing. If a coast is eroding away, civil engineers figure out ways to keeping it from washing out neighborhoods. If there is bad drinking water, civil engineers figure out the best way to make it clean and healthy. Sanitation problems? Bad air? Traffic problems? Civils are solving the problems. If you have ever wanted to make the world a better place, then civil engineering has something for you!

Civil engineers enjoy being able to choose from many specialties within their discipline, such as environmental engineering, transportation engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, or water/wastewater management. They can work for NASA building the infrastructure for space exploration or in the middle of the ocean installing a wind turbine. They make sure things stay strong and stay put, they make sure things move along nicely, they design places that people like, and they keep it all clean. Civil engineering is one of the oldest and largest branches of engineering.

Contest deadline: 11:59pm November 3, 2010
Winners will be notified by November 10, 2010
