Finding Seminars 1

[gbowen]

Does anyone know of a location to find listings of seminars, classes, or conferences for civil engineering, construction, etc. I have tried searching for specific associations but it is very time consuming to do it that way. If there is a better place to post this thread let me know?

Where are you located? And what subjects are you looking for? I found classes on programs like AutoCAD and other Engineering programs through local community colleges. Some Organizations you sign up for send you continueing education courses and their time and location. Local community colleges have also had building code seminars, Info on the code inspection process. If you are looking for seminars on more detailed engineering practices like "BMPs for Stormwater Management" or something that specific try Universities School of Engineering. Maybe you can find a way to get on a mailing list. They have seminars like that once in a while. I am in Philadelphia so their are lots of Engineering schools to choose from. Also some schools will let you take Engineering classes without being a student.

I am located in Columbus, Ohio but am willing to travel. My primary interests are roadway construction, soil testing, soil stabilization, structural steel inspection, geosynthetics, concrete, asphalt, post-tensioning, etc. I am the Field Supervisor for a Geotechnical Lab & Field Services Department.

If you join ASCE, you will get flyers on their upcoming seminars in the mail. I'm sure if look on the website (

http://www.asce.org/),

they're on there, too.

Try your state's LIAP Center (find it at

http://www.ltap.org).

If you don't work for a municipality, you'll probably be waitlisted, but it's worth a shot.

I've been to some of the ASCE seminars and they are pretty good.

Other groups might be the state chapter of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) or American Concrete Institute (ACI).

Join the APWA, contact your DOT, trade mags, your state EPA. You can't go to allthe stuff offered in ayear. The Undergound const show in Houston each jan, the concrete expo in Vegas each state chapter of APWA does a couple conferences each year also. Trenchless Tech. Mag in Peninsular, Ohio is another source for seminars.

If you goal is continuing education for licensing requirements, there are lots of them (

etc.), otherwise your engineering societies are the best bet.
