Want to get involved with the CSCE but don’t know how? Why not become a member of the newly created CSCE Technical Publications Committee?
The goal of the Technical Program Committee is to develop strategies and activities to improve members’ opportunities to publish and access research material. A secondary goal, and in many ways, more important is to make the general public aware of what great civil engineering research is being done in Canada. For this to happen, we need more members from industry and consulting, at all experience levels.
So think about it and if interested, contact Linda Newton for more information.
