Guide to Civil Engineering Projects

First Edition

Second Edition

Many of the world's foremost engineering projects—bridges, tunnels, highways, skyscrapers and buildings, airports, water supply, and environmental systems—are located in New York City and its environs. The ASCE Met Section's 36-page, pocket-size booklet, A Guide to Civil Engineering Projects in and around New York City is designed to provide the public and visitors with an overview of some of the major projects in or near the city. Several projects have been designated Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks by the ASCE while others are National Historic Landmarks, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, or landmarked by the City of New York. You can preview a sample from the guide (1.3 Mb).

The International Group is in the process of developing an updated, expanded version of the guide. Until this is released, the first edition of the guide will continue to be available for $2 a copy. Free copies are available to instructors for their classes. For further information on orders of individual or multiple copies, please contact one of the International Group's officers.

Empire State Building Poster and Notecards

The Met Section commissioned ErrolGraphics and artist Craig Holmes to prepare an artistic poster and notecards to celebrate the dedication of the Empire State Building as one of the Monuments of the Millennium and to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of ASCE.

The 17" x 40" poster is available at a price of $20 for ASCE members, and $25 for non-members (10% discount for orders of 10 or more posters), plus shipping. The 3 ¾" x 9" folded notecards are available in packages of 5 at $8 for ASCE Members and $10 for non-members, plus shipping. Both items can be ordered using one of these forms: Adobe Acrobat format or Microsoft Word format.
