During the Fall of 2008, the ASCE's Construction Institute launched its Student Days initiative as a way to address the shortage of civil engineering graduates, particularly in construction engineering. The Institute brought more than 150 university engineering students to San Francisco for networking, a job fair, and a site visit to the Bay Bridge construction project. In October, CI will partner with COPRI and the Geo Institute to bring Student Days to Houston, TX.
