The National Capital Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers celebrated its centennial (100-th) anniversary in 2016 by hosting tour of some of the most magnificent civil engineering wonders located in the National Capital region served by the Section.

To celebrate its centennial anniversary, the National Capital Section of ASCE is publishing interviews of prominent members from our Section by asking them to reflect on their career and profession. The interviews are organized by the NCS Centennial Committee, including Dr. Phillip Melville, Ph.D. P.E., F.ASCE and Ms. Lucy Menon, P.E. of the Dream Big Subcommittee. We hope you enjoy reading these interviews and gain insight from these local leaders in civil engineering.

Interested in uncovering the civil engineering wonders located in the metropolitan Washington, DC area? Check out our Centennial coffee-table book. In it you'll find civil engineering projects, both historic and new that have shaped the region's past and are poised to shape its future. Pre-orders for the book are open for your enjoyment. We have a limited supply of the book; don't let the opportunity slip you by to own a piece of our region's history and its future and to cherish it for years to come. The local civil engineering wonders featured below, though not from the NCS Coffee Table book, are representative of the local civil engineering history.
