ASCE Princeton

Hey engineers! ⚒
ASCE will be hosting an Alumni Panel next Wednesday from 6-8PM.
The panel will feature alumni from various tracks and years, and we hope to see you there! Keep an eye on your inbox for the zoom link!

See the Mindboggling Views From the Top of 432 Park Avenue The tallest residential building in New York City -- and, yes, the Western Hemisphere -- tops out tomorrow.

CEE Pickups happening now! A warm welcome to all the sophomores joining our department!

Princeton University - Even under construction, Andlinger lab teaches On a spring day, the class walked into a cavernous construction site that is becoming the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University. Light, filtering from the open floors above, lined the gray concrete floors and the steel beams that cross the high ceiling. Construction…

Princeton University - Modern expertise builds bridge to ancient marvel Many engineering lectures concern themselves with cutting-edge technology but at a recent talk on bridge construction, Princeton professor Branko Glišić asked his audience to go back nearly 2,000 years.

Professor Branko Glisic and students did testing on Streicker Bridge on Princeton's campus last week as a 4-ton truck moved across it. Glisic oversaw the installation of special sensors in the bridge as it was being constructed to measure temperature, strain and vibration in the concrete.

The department is pleased to announce that Erman Eruz, Class of 2014, has been chosen to receive a $10,000 Thornton Tomasetti Foundation National 2014-2015 Scholarship for his exceptional academic success and demonstrated interest in the integration of engineering and architecture.

THE GREATEST DISASTER that never happened - all thanks to a Princeton senior thesis. The 99% Invisible radio show reports that Diane Hartley's 1978 senior thesis on structural engineering very likely (albeit circuitously) prevented the collapse of the iconic Citicorp building in NYC. Hartley was of course a student of David Billington, who is featured in the radio piece charmingly ranting about the importance of structural engineering. It's a must-listen: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/structural-integrity/
