Three Younger Members Are New Faces of Civil Engineering

Three young engineers from the Met Section have been selected by ASCE as part of the 2010 New Faces of Civil Engineering, a group of ten individuals whose technical prowess and spirit of volunteerism illustrate the enthusiasm and passion of the civil engineering profession.

Each year, the New Faces of Engineering program is held during National Engineers Week in February to celebrate the accomplishments of young engineers from all engineering disciplines, highlighting their careers and their contributions to their communities.

Throughout the year the Met Section Younger Member Forum (YMF) hosts several social/networking events all around New York City. This year we kicked off our social calendar on October 29th at "The Hill", located on Third Avenue, between East 29th and 30th Streets. This was a great event with a large turnout from younger members, many of which stayed to watch the Yankees defeat the Phillies in Game 2 of the World Series.

On Thursday October 15th, the Met Section Younger Member Forum (YMF) hosted a professional discussion titled "Career Development: Take Your Career Wherever You Want to Take It!" Anthony Fasano, P.E., CPESC, CPSWQ, LEED AP, whom currently serves as the Rockland Chapter President of the New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE), was on hand to discuss the many aspects of career development.

The Met Section recognized some of its newest and lifetime members at the Ridgway Awards and Life Member Installation Dinner, held on April 29, 2009 at Manhattan College in Riverdale, NY. The annual event, named after the first president of the Metropolitan Section and organized by the Younger Member Forum, included the presentation of certificates to newly inducted life members and awards to outstanding members from all seven ASCE student chapters located in the Met Section.
