Student's Trip to Panama: Exploring Engineering at the Crossroads of the World

In January 2006, the George Mason University Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) traveled to the Republic of Panama to tour the Panama Canal and related engineering and educational interests at “the crossroads of the world.”

Ten Civil, Environmental, and Infrastructure Engineering (CEIE) students and Dr. Michael Casey, the ASCE faculty advisor, made the trip which was sponsored by GMU’s Civil Engineering Institute (CEI). CEI is a nonprofit corporation registered in the State of Virginia since 1989 whose charter is to assist with the Civil Engineering program of George Mason University by providing scholarships, summer paid internships, course support and advice on engineering practice, curriculum development, and support for civil engineering student organizations.

Panama Trip Newsletter is available for downloading.
