National Engineers Week celebrates contributions
Ever think about where we’d be without engineers?
We know we certainly wouldn’t have most of the “stuff” that surrounds us in our everyday lives, or, if we did, it probably wouldn’t operate the way it does now.
That’s because engineers are the ones who design, create and make things work. They also play a really crucial role here at ADOT…
Seeing that it’s National Engineers Week (more on that in a minute), we thought we’d concentrate all week on the important work that our engineers accomplish every day to help the state’s transportation system function efficiently.
To kick things off, take a look back with us at these engineering-focused blog posts from the past:
- Moving oversize loads requires big effort
- Oversize load safely crosses bridge, makes it to destination on time
- Real World Design Challenge heads to Arizona
- State engineer's responsibilities are numerous
- State Engineer gives her take on the job
- Engineer in Training program offers new graduates the chance for some real world experience at ADOT
- STEM studies are at the forefront of upcoming transportation event
- Future female engineers get an up-close look at Loop 303 construction
- ASU Summer Transportation Institute introduces students to engineering
- Class C permits help oversize loads travel safely through the state
