ASCE Metropolitan Section - Past Structures Group Technical Lectures

Past Structures Group Technical Lectures

Each year, the Structures Group hosts several technical lectures, as well as its Annual Spring Seminar. These lectures provide a forum for engineers and educators to present and discuss notable projects or areas of research and development in structural engineering. The lectures also provide members with an opportunity to earn continuing education credit in the form of Professional Development Hours (PDHs).
