Education is the backbone of our industry and the California
economy. Last month, 25 students
from Lyles College of Engineering at Fresno State, under the direction of CSUF
professor Fariborz Tehrani, Ph.D.,
PE, SP, PMP, delivered their final
presentations for a senior design project co-sponsored by ACEC-California’s San
Joaquin Valley Chapter (including member firms AECOM, BSK, Brooks Ransom,
Cornerstone, Kleinfelder, Provost & Pritchard, URS, Yamabe & Horn).
This is a program the San Joaquin Valley Chapter has supported for many
years and all of the presentations were high quality, which tells us that
there’s some great talent headed into our industry in the next few years.
The projects included designs for a retirement facility, a
natural history museum, a community center and a grade separation for the BNSF
railroad.
Thanks also to Walt Plachta of Blackburn Consulting and
Mike Hartley of Bedrock Engineering for their support of the program and
bringing this to our attention.
