The ASCE trip to Boston, Massachussetts
(March 8-10)
A good time was had by all who made the long trip to Boston
this Spring. The day after arrival,We attended a short tour
(around 1 hour) of the Charles River area on the northeast
side of the Big Dig Project. In particular, we met the lead
field engineer on the Leonard P. Zakim bridge across the
river from Boston to Charlestown. We learned a great deal
about the construction of this cable-stay bridge with a
745 foot long main span. It is the widest cable stay roadway
deck in the country.
Also, students got a chance to tour the campus of MIT and
Harvard as well as enjoy the sights of downtown.
The attendees on the trip were Rob Mehler, Lindsay Held,
Israel Arteaga, and Baharak Mohammad.

SAME
The Society of American Military Engineers
GMU Student Post
The
first question that most students ask themselves when
it comes to SAME is, “I am not military; so how can I
join SAME?” The answer to that question is simple:
you do not have to be military, you do not have to be American,
and you do not even have to be an engineer to join SAME.
Purpose
of the Society
SAME brings together professional engineers and those in
engineering-related fields:
-
To
improve and increase the engineering capabilities of
the nation;
-
To
exchange and advance the knowledge of engineering technologies,
applications, and practices
Engineers of all kinds, promote fun and fellowship, add
those important professional and business contacts, and
end up enhancing our profession, the military and the Nation.
The
recently established SAME George Mason University Student
Post (or student chapter) is strongly supported by the
professional society’s Northern Virginia Post. Through this partnership,
the NOVA Post has many benefits to offer the students of
George Mason University: scholarships, networking, internships,
future full-time opportunities, and mentoring and training
from local engineering firms. Of the 16 sustaining members
firms of the SAME NOVA Post, approximately 15 of them hire
civil engineers – find out who they are at
