It's been half a century since the United States has seen a public works program as significant as the development of its interstate highway system. However, civil engineers young and old may soon be in store for a once-in-a-lifetime experience as the economic stimulus package proposed by President-elect Barack Obama has the potential to make 2009 one of the most important years in infrastructure development since the 1950s.

 On December 5, 2008, ASCE members helped to brighten the faces of more than 50 children at the Community Lunch Holiday Party at the Broadway Presbyterian Church in Morningside Heights. Community Lunch is a soup kitchen run by the students of Columbia University serving disadvantaged people living in the area. Volunteers helped to decorate the room with balloons, streamers, lights, and snowflakes and prepared activity tables for children to decorate cupcakes and create arts and crafts such as snowmen, the Star of David, Three Kings crowns, and jewelry. Dinner was also provided for the kids and their parents. See the Met Section photo gallery for more pictures from this event.

 If you watched Michael Phelps rewrite history during the 2008 Summer Olympics, you definitely couldn't miss the impressive design of the Water Cube, the venue for the swimming and diving events where Phelps won an unprecedented eight gold medals. Inspired by Kelvin's "Foam Theory," the National Aquatics Center—commonly known as the Water Cube—was another star of the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Designed to resemble soap bubbles, the rectangular shape of the Water Cube was intended to coordinate with the circular design and philosophy of the neighboring National Stadium (Bird's Nest).
