Newly Released Thriller Makes a Civil Engineer the Hero Print E-mail
The Jackhammer Elegies By Stefan Jaeger, Author of The Jackhammer Elegies

If you try to count the number of movies that have an engineer as a major character, you probably won't get off the fingers of one hand. I know of Arlington Road (the engineer, played by Tim Robbins, is a terrorist), Falling Down (the engineer, Michael Douglas, goes berserk), and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (the cover profession of the assassin, Brad Pitt, is an engineer), just to name a few.

Swedish and Norwegian Engineers Visit New York City Print E-mail
This past summer, the ASCE Met Section Hospitality Committee was approached by Kristian Ivsett Johnsen of Tekna, a Norwegian engineering firm, who was organizing a visit in October 2012 to New York City for a group of about 40 structural engineers from Norway and Sweden.

In this occasion, the group had already planned a number of lectures and visits arranged through New York-based construction firms, and the Met Section only arranged a delivery of the Guide to Civil Engineering Projects In and Around New York City, and a brief list of notable New York City buildings built during the last five years, that they could use as a group or individually for a self-guided tour. Both were very much appreciated.
