Branch Meeting
Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Awards
Custom House
Thursday June 18

This month’s meeting is the Branch’s 2009 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement (OCEA) Awards program. This year, awards will honor local people and projects that best illustrate superior civil engineering skills and represent a significant contribution to civil engineering progress and society in a number of categories. There were seven nominations, representing seven award categories, including:

• Outstanding Government Civil Engineering Project
• Outstanding Private Sector Civil Engineering Project
• Outstanding Sustainability Project
• Outstanding Architectural Engineering Project
• Outstanding Civil Engineer in Government
• Outstanding Younger Civil Engineer
• Outstanding Practitioner Advisor

The luncheon will start with opening remarks and introduction of the judges, followed by short presentations on each of the entries, and commence with the award presentations. Finally, an overall project winner will be announced and receive the 2009 OCEA bronze plaque for the project site. Make sure to mark your calendar and join us at the Custom House in Avila Beach to see which project will be awarded the 2009 OCEA Award! :

K-12 K-12: CURIOUS GEORGE BRINGS CIVIL ENGINEERING TO GROVER HEIGHTS
Curious George joined three local professionals and two Cal Poly civil engineering students at Grover Heights Elementary Boys and Girls Club. The afternoon consisted of roughly 100 kids (K-6), hundreds of toothpicks, gumdrops galore, marshmallows, crayons, straws, and newspapers. The kids rotated through several activity stations: the newspaper tower competition, the construction zone (built any engineering structure out of toothpicks, gumdrops, and marshmallows), the hoop gliders, and the drawing station. Overall, everyone involved enjoyed the event and the kids expressed a great enthusiasm for math, science, and engineering!

We are always looking for more enthusiastic civil engineers to join us while we urge kids to consider a future in civil engineering.

If you have any ideas for future events, want to get involved, or simply would like more information, please contact Carolyn Berg at (949) 422- 3616 or ckberg2@gmail.com.
