Students in PLTW’s Civil Engineering & Architecture (CEA) courses can take a closer look at careers in the field during a special day organized by KC STEM Alliance, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) – Kansas City Section and the Center for Architecture & Design (CAD).
The 2022 Civil Engineering & Design Careers Day will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, October 4, 2022.
Overview
Students will begin the day at the UMKC Student Union with an education and career fair and then launch into the city for site visits with a civil engineering/construction firm or design firm.
The goal is to allow CEA students to engage with several civil engineering disciplines and seven design disciplines, learn the pathways in education to these careers, see current technology being employed in the field and ask questions of professionals currently practicing in these fields:
Civil Engineering Disciplines
1. Structural Engineering
2. Environmental Engineering
3. Geotechnical Engineering
4. Transportation Engineering
5. Water Resources Engineering
6. Site – Civil Engineering
7. Construction Engineering
Design Disciplines
1. Architecture
2. Urban Planning
3. Landscape Architecture
4. Interior Design
5. Industrial Design
6. Graphic Design
7. Experiential Design
