Outreach
ASCE TMB is committed to the education and engagement of our industry within our communities. Through our presence at career fairs, dedicated support to student initiatives, and direct involvement with educational institutions, we strive to introduce the dynamic field of civil engineering to students, offering insights into career pathways and educational opportunities.
Our Director At Large, Monica Morales, was featured on Cities of the Future.
A special screening at the Legends Galaxy Theater in Sparks was made possible for over 300 Washoe County School Students. They experienced the magic of this film in 3D on an unforgettable field trip, organized by one of our own, who shared her first-generation college journey from hometown schools to engineering success!
Special thanks to volunteers for making the day even more special with red-carpet photos and an engaging panel discussion on the future of Reno and Sparks. With support from Jacobs, ASCE, and Nevada Water Environment Association, alongside enthusiastic participation from schools like the Academy of Arts, Careers, and Technology, Wooster High School, Mendive Middle School, and Agnes Risley Elementary School, this day of STEAM outreach will forever be cherished.

ASCE TMB and UNR Students Inspire Future STEM Stars
The College of Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno’s ASCE Student Chapter and our ASCE Truckee Meadows Branch successfully hosted our second annual Engineering Field Trip for Agnes Risley Elementary School’s 4th grade students to test their egg drop devices, gum drop and toothpick towers on a small shake table, tour the big shake table at Harry Reid Engineering Laboratory, and hear from final speaker Eddy Chacon of Washoe County School District! The kids had an absolute blast learning firsthand how fun engineering can be and we for sure have some future engineers within this group! Thanks to all our student volunteers for making this a special day for everyone involved and excited for next year!
