Earth Day Dallas Recap

The opportunity for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) - Dallas Branch to work with students and faculty from UT Dallas has been terrific. During the ASCE Texas Section Centennial Year of 2013, there were themes developed for each month for us to concentrate and focus on. The theme for April was Sustainable Environment (Go Green). In conjunction with Earth Day Dallas, this was the month to reflect upon improving our quality of life by examining how we affect the air we breathe and the ground we built on with the projects we design. UT Dallas presented ASCE with an opportunity to co-sponsor a booth at Earth Day Dallas last week. This collaboration was very successful in presenting a very cost effective way of gathering data utilizing LIDAR technologies. We look forward to hopefully working with UT-Dallas again next year during Earth Day Dallas. Join us this September 11-14 at the Omni Hotel in Dallas as we celebrate 100 years of Civil Engineering Excellence in Texas. For more information, please visit
