Join us as we explore the state of infrastructure in the US, the cost and burden on taxpayers, the economic impact of infrastructure investment, and the need for increased investment.
We dive into the political nature of infrastructure, the importance of infrastructure for competitiveness as a country, and the declining interest in civil engineering.
Scott shares his thoughts on why civil engineers are underpaid and what the future holds for them. He’s got a compelling case for why engineers and architects should be excited about the industry’s future. Spoiler: It’s looking bright!
