Civil and environmental engineering students attend ACEC conference

Five College of Engineering students attended the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Michigan conference in Lansing on Feb. 4 to learn about current issues the Michigan Department of Transportation and partner consulting engineers face.

Justin Kietur, Humna Anjum, Ahmed Al-Jafar, Daniel Tomaszycki, and Micah Hindy were sponsored by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. ACEC represents over 5,000 engineering firms and 500,000 employees in the U.S.

"I want to thank Dr. Hummer and the CEE Department at Wayne State for allowing us to go to such an incredibly interesting and enriching event," said Micah Hindy. "The entire day was not only a great networking opportunity but also an educational experience all of its own."

"Our department always looks for ways to help students meet with and learn from our industry partners," said Dr. Joseph Hummer, civil and environmental engineering chair. "At Wayne State, an engineering education extends far beyond the classroom. This was a win-win for the students and ACEC."
