Future City Competition

The Met Section is presently seeking mentors to participate in this important engineering community initiative. Mentors are a key part of the experience for the students; unfortunately, every year 2 or 3 schools never get matched with a mentor despite these announcements and requests.

Younger Member Forum
|
Building off of the success of the Civil Professional Engineering (PE) Exam information session held during the Spring of 2012, the Met Section Younger Member Forum (YMF) hosted its second information session for engineers who are registered for or plan on taking the PE Exam in the near future. The YMF assembled a panel of engineers who recently passed the Civil PE Exam to share their personal experiences and participate in an interactive Question and Answer session with prospective exam takers.
The information session took place at Parsons Brinckerhoff's New York office on Wednesday August 1, 2012. The panel was made up of five licensed Professional Engineers from various engineering firms in New York Metropolitan Area. Each panelist specialized in one of the five afternoon disciplines (geotechnical, transportation, structural, water resources/environmental, and construction). Since each afternoon discipline was taken by one of the panelists, attendees were able to ask questions and get perspectives on the specific exam they were preparing for. The event was attended by engineers from both the private and public sectors. Feedback from the attendees was all very positive, as they received a lot of valuable information on preparing for an taking the Civil PE Exam.
