About the author

Founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers, usually called ASCE, is the oldest national engineering society in the United States. It represents civil engineers in areas like transportation, water, construction, and structural design, and is based in Reston, Virginia.

ASCE describes its role as advancing civil engineering knowledge and supporting the profession in service to the public good. Along with publishing technical resources and organizing conferences, it is especially well known for highlighting the condition of infrastructure in the United States through its report cards and public outreach.

Over time, the society has grown into a major professional home for engineers in industry, government, and academia around the world. Its history reflects the broadening reach of civil engineering itself: not just building roads, bridges, and water systems, but helping communities think about safety, resilience, and the future of the built environment.
