Statement by ACEC Missouri President & CEO, Morgan Mundell Holding the title of “engineer” is an important distinction. Professional engineers are very proud of that particular distinction, because it requires, and it also suggests to the public, a high level of academic achievement, professional accomplishment and specific state certification. So, it’s certainly in the public interest that individuals holding themselves out publicly as engineers actually BE engineers. Professional engineers are very precise and careful individuals by nature and by training. And Missouri law is very clear about spelling out who may call themselves an engineer. And the law lays out a specific procedure to enforce this very important distinction. This is primarily a matter of protecting public safety, because engineers design and build critical infrastructures from bridges to skyscrapers. The public must know that a person behind such important projects is indeed a state-certified professional. Otherwise, it endangers public safety and undermines public confidence in the profession of engineering.

Without professional engineering licensure, anyone with or without a degree could claim 'I'm an engineer'. Licensure holds degreed, licensed engineers accountable to the public. We are bound by our creed: As a Professional Engineer, I dedicate my professional knowledge to the advancement and betterment of public health, safety, and welfare. I pledge: To give the utmost of performance; To participate in none but honest enterprise; To live and work according to the highest standards of professional conduct; To place service before profit, the honor and standing of my profession before personal advantage, and the public welfare above all other considerations. In humility, I make this pledge. Think about it - Are you willing to bet your life on an unlicensed 'engineer'?

Dame Judith Hackitt, a trailblazer in engineering safety, was honoured with the 2024 President’s Medal by the Royal Academy of Engineering last Tuesday, 9th July. Her profound contributions have significantly shaped the engineering landscape, fostering safety and advocating for cultural change. What do you think are the most crucial factors in promoting engineering safety today?

Leveling up my fire safety expertise: The "Effect of Fires on People, Property and the Environment" course by the University of Maryland (via Coursera) ignited my curiosity about the science behind fire behavior, the devastating impact it can have and the ingenious ways we can design safer spaces. From understanding how fires spread to exploring cutting-edge fire safety technologies, I'm walking away with a newfound appreciation for the field of fire protection engineering. If you're curious about how we can build a more fire-resilient future, check out this course – it's a real spark of inspiration!

Top 10 Materials Engineering Moves for Max Structural Component Reliability Join the PMA New England District after the Design2Part New England Show on Wednesday, October 16 for networking, dinner and an informative presentation. More information and register here: https://bit.ly/4dbiBla Presented by Donald Baskin, Ph.D., Principal and Founder, Spectrum Materials Engineering LLC. From failed #fasteners to bottoms that rip out of railroad tanker cars, Dr. Baskin sees a broad range of #materials-engineering related failures in his engineering practice. From his experiences there are only about 10 materials-related decisions that lead to the majority of broken #structuralcomponents. Some of these culprits include #corrosion/ #embrittlement, creation of unintended #stress concentrations, and accidental #microstructural modifications. On October 16, Dr. Baskin will share his top 10 culprits and contribute to improving the reliability of structural components of which audience members are involved.

Evaluating and Maintaining Structural Integrity of   Florida Buildings This 6‐hour course explores the challenges of construction and maintenance of buildings in Florida, common causes of structural failure and how to prevent it through proper design and practices. The course focuses on the forensic engineering process and provides maintenance, repair, and improvement techniques. https://lnkd.in/eZikW-ew

I hit the streets for some impromptu interviews at the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) conference in Ohio. And had a blast. I was far from the smartest person there. But that's expected when you're surrounded by engineers, right? 😂 I thrive on this, though. I’m like a sponge, always eager to soak up knowledge. Since this is my first rodeo in construction tech, I have much to learn. Yet there's nothing quite like learning directly from the people leading the charge in planning, risk mitigation, and building the critical infrastructure on which our country depends. Every conversation is a lesson in what it takes to build our nation's backbone. And what we must do to modernize traditional methods in order for our communities to thrive in the future. Cheers to Ryan Mikulsky, PE from T2 Utility Engineers, for dropping some wisdom on me regarding the importance of accessing reliable utility data to mitigate risk when going into construction and design. __ #Constructiontech #utilitymapping #contentcreator #infrastructuredevelopment #SUE #civilengineering

Meet Engineering Manager Nicholas Clark, one of our go-to engineering experts! Ever wonder what keeps someone like Nick going? It’s the thrill of solving the unsolvable. He has a talent for tackling the trickiest projects—where figuring out the cause of damage isn’t just a challenge, but an exciting adventure. He’s the guy who dives headfirst into complexities and comes out with answers that leave us all a bit in awe. If there’s one thing Nick has taught us, it’s that the hardest problems often lead to the most satisfying solutions. Reflecting on one of his most challenging projects, Nick shared: "One particularly challenging project was a house located directly on the beach, adjacent the Gulf of Mexico, where the owner reported flood damage related to storm surge.... Through additional research we found historical aerial photography of the residence that showed that the high tide line of the Gulf of Mexico had substantially progressed toward the residence over the past 2 years. Based on this information, we were able to determine that this damage was not a result of a one-time storm event." It’s this kind of insight that makes Nick an indispensable part of our team and a true expert in the field. Cheers to Nick Clark for all his hard work and the value he brings to our team! #EmployeeSpotlight #ProfessionalGrowth #ProblemSolver #Growth #ForensicEngineer #Prema #PCG
