think of George Washington or Brigham Young, but they should. The history of this nation and this state was shaped by these men, and it is our duty to make people aware of this. More re-cently, by comparison, The Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel was constructed, and on July 4, 1930, the tunnel was dedicated. This Civil Engi-neering feat created direct access to Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon from Zion National Park. Not many people who go through this tunnel think, “ A Civil Engi-neer created this…” but they should, and once again, it is our responsibility to make

people aware of this.

The history and heritage of Civil Engineering can make the common person aware that there really isn’t an as-pect of his/her life that isn’t affected by Civil Engineer-

“Civil engineers build the world's infrastructure. In doing so, they shape the history of nations around

the world.”

One of my goals this year as President is to make Civil Engineering relevant to the common person. One of the ways to do this is to under-stand the history and heri-tage of our great profession and make that history known to everyone. Many of

this country’s great leaders have been part of the Civil Engineering community. I was recently reminded that the “Father” of our country was an accomplished sur-veyor. At the age of 16 he began surveying and by the age of 17 he was he was commissioned as the sur-veyor for newly-formed Culp-per County, Virginia. He re-turned to surveying off and on during the length of his career. His knowledge and skills related to Land Survey-ing had played an important role in his own life, as well as the beginnings of the United States of America. In my travels, I am often com-plimented by people who don’t live in Utah how easy Salt Lake City is to navi-gate. I am quick to tell them that this is because the indi-vidual who laid out the

streets was a Civil Engineer.

Not many people think “Civil Engineering” when they

During the month of February the Northern Utah Branch did not hold the regularly sched-uled monthly meeting in an effort to encourage members to celebrate Engineering Week

in whichever way they chose.

As part of the Engineering Week activities held at Utah State University the Northern Utah Branch presented 6 schol-arships to students in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. The scholarships were presented on campus as part of the Civil and Environ-mental Department’s Distin-guished Alumni Speech and Department Awards Banquet. The Awards Banquet was well attended and it was fun to pre-sent the scholarships on cam-pus this year in conjunction with Engineering Week rather than at one of our monthly

meetings. Congratulations to the recipients and thank you to

all the applicants.

In an effort to increase our Community Outreach efforts the Northern Utah Branch has presented the Cache Valley Science Fair, which is open to all middle and high schools in Cache County, with a $1,500 donation. This donation will support awards for the top two civil engineering projects for 10 years. We are excited to be a part of the science fair and to encourage middle and high school students to explore civil engineering projects. The Cache Valley Science Fair is held at InTech Collegiate High

School.

Join us in March for our regu-larly scheduled monthly branch meeting. We will meet at the Bluebird Restaurant on March 8 at 12:00 pm in Logan. Rep-resentatives from Utah State University’s Energy Dynamics Laboratory will be giving us a presentation on an electric road system. The electric road system was the subject of an international conference held in Park City in February. The Energy Dynamics Laboratory is a leading researcher on the subject. The presentation will focus on the civil engineering

issues and implications associ-ated with the electric road con-

cept.

Here is a brief introduction to the presentation: The Energy Dynamics Laboratory’s Wire-less Energy and Power Conver-sion (WEAPC) branch con-ceives, develops, and imple-ments complete designs and systems that leverage wire-less power transfer technol-ogy. With strengths in re-search, invention, and innova-tion, the WEAPC’s team can turn a client’s wireless power concept into a realized proto-type. Recently WEAPC devel-oped a 5kW stationary induc-tive wireless power transfer for electric vehicles capable of safely transferring power over a 10 inch air gap at greater than 90% efficiency from grid to car battery. WEAPC is work-ing towards much higher power systems as well as de-signs for in-motion power transfer to vehicles operating at freeway speeds. While the electrical, interoperability, and control challenges are well on their way to being solved, there are still many challenges to be tackled which require specialized civil engineering

concepts.

We had a great luncheon last month. We heard from Greg Scott of the Wasatch Front Re-gional Council about the Coun-cil’s initiatives including the 2040 Vision and Unified Trans-portation Plan. He brought some great handouts for our members also. This month’s luncheon will be a presentation on the new public safety build-ing near the downtown library. We’ll be sending out the formal announcement with all the de-tails soon, but mark your calen-

dars for March 16.

Photos from WFB Engineering Week act ivity.

National Engineers Week was February 19-25. Perhaps it is no coincidence that our two greatest US presidents, Washington and Lincoln, were born in February, and both were professional sur-veyors. They were giants of intel-lect and virtue who add luster to

the heritage of civil engineering.

Two CUB members, David Pitcher and Steven Lord, were recog-nized recently at the February 17 Annual Utah Engineers Council

Awards Banquet held at Rice Eccles Stadium. They were ASCE’s nominees for 2011 “Engineer of the Year” and “Fresh Face of the Year”, respec-tively. On February 23, the BYU Student Chapter of ASCE hosted the monthly CUB Branch meet-ing. BYU’s Dr. Rollin Hotchkiss presented interesting pro’s and con’s regarding the $ 40– $60 million environmental efforts to save the June Sucker of Utah Lake. Attendance (about 90) was greater than for any prior

CUB meeting I’ve attended.

When the local newspaper spurned our CUB appeal for an article about CUB-sponsored scholarships to five BYU students during Engineers Week (see photo), I fancied that, if they (the newspaper) were denied access to Civil Engineering works for a day—such as: plentiful water; pure water; sewage collection, treatment, and disposal; safe buildings, streets, roads, and bridges; etc.-- they might see us with new eyes. Alas, I had to

strangle the demon voice and

act more like my gracious peers.

CUB’s next Branch meeting will be March 22 at the Golden Cor-ral in Orem. Jonathan Clegg will present a message on some “exciting” and “dynamic” hydrau-lics’ from his experiences with Boise’s 3000 cfs “New York Ca-nal”. More information and de-tails will follow. You have re-ceived a survey request from our President-elect, Katie Jacobsen, asking for input to guide the CUB Board in its efforts. Please re-spond. Help us better meet the needs and interests of our mem-

bers.

During March, we’ll be seeking your nominations for 2012 Cen-tral Utah Branch President-elect. Voting will be via Internet in April. Also, we are inviting nomi-nations from our Branch mem-bership for 2012 “Engineer of the Year” and “Engineering Edu-cator of the Year”. Hope to see

you on March 22.

This last month, we were privi-leged to hear from Scott Hirschi, the Director for the Washington County Economic Development Council, who spoke to us on the importance

of infrastructure in improving the marketability of Washing-ton County to outside busi-nesses. We appreciate those who attended, including Mr. Hirschi himself, as the presen-tation turned out very interest-

ing and informative.

This next month, we will get the chance to hear from Kirk Thor-nock, a project manager for UDOT, who has agreed to come down and give us technical instruction on pavement. The location is to be determined, but the date is set for March 22nd. We hope to get a lot of people out to attend this in-

struction.

Today, Friday, March 2, marks the date for the ASCE/APWA

Spring Golf Tournament. We have some good teams lined up, and the weather is sup-posed to be warmer. Hope-fully, you were able to register and attend this tournament. As a reminder, the ASCE/APWA Conference has been moved to the fall. The dates are set for September 26th-28th at the St. George Abbey Inn on Bluff Street. We have already begun lining out some great classes, and we will have a golf tournament on Friday. Please plan on attending. And, if you have any good ideas on class instructors/topics,

please let us know.

Every March for our outreach activ-ity, the YMF participates in the Salt Lake Valley Science & Engineering Fair (SLVSEF) by sponsoring Spe-cial Awards for 9 students whose projects demonstrate significant knowledge, research, and applica-tion of the challenges faced by civil engineers. We are looking for 9 volunteers to judge projects from Salt Lake, Tooele, Granite, Park City and Murray School District students in the elementary, junior

& senior divisions. We currently have 6 volunteers lined up and are looking for just 3 more! The time commitment is a few hours on the evening of March 28 or 29. Please note that the judging for the ASCE’s Special Awards are independent of the judges that SLVSEF needs, but we would en-courage you to judge our special awards AND for the fair if you could make that time commit-ment. More information about the SLVSEF can be found at slvsef.org. If you are interested in being a judge for the ASCE Special Awards, please email Jenni at

jennioman@gmail.com.

February 28 kicked off the first of 10 classes for the PE Review. We hold 2 classes for each discipline. We have a few spots available, for anyone who may still be inter-ested. If you would like more in-formation, contact Dave Lehman at Dave.Lehman@urs.com or at 801-904-4055. As a well-deserved reward for studying so

hard for the PE, the YMF hosts our annual Spring BBQ. It’s a chance for everyone to socialize and net-work and remember that there is life after studying for the PE! More details to come in the next

issue of the Civil Source.

If you would like to get more in-volved in planning YMF events or want to share you input or ideas for future events, please email or call me at Jessica.Rice@urs.com or 801-904-4161. Remember, the benefits of your ASCE mem-bership are directly related to your

input and participation!

Make sure you are receiving our news and announcements and keeping track of any YMF activi-ties by subscribing to our email list (respond “SUBSCRIBE” to utahasceymf@gmail.com), friend our Facebook page (search “ASCE YMF Utah”) or link to our calendar (at https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/utahasceymf%

ing. In May we have an great opportunity to achieve this awareness. On May 18, 2012, The Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel will be recognized as a “Historic Civil Engineering Landmark” at an incredible event by the ASCE History and Heritage Committee. I would like to extend an invitation to ALL section members to attend this event. Mick Mathieu our Region 8 governor and ASCE National President Patrick Hermann will be there formally dedicating the tunnel. It is the

(Continued from page 1) first time in recent history that anything like this has occurred and should be recognized and

attended by all.

In closing, I would like to chal-lenge you all to look at the ASCE History and Heritage sec-tion of the ASCE website (asce.org/historyandheritage/) and “Get to know the peo-ple, their projects, and ASCE's efforts to ensure they will be

remembered..”..”..”..”

And most important, make everyone you know aware of the great Civil Engineering ef-forts in this state and country

and how Civil Engineering

touches their everyday lives.

February was a great month for the Geotechnical Group as members had the opportunity to attend the BYU and ASCE 2012 Geotechnical Group Ground Improvement Seminar. The conference included pres-entations given by geotechnical professors, ground improve-ment specialty contractors and geotechnical practitioners from around the country. In addition, attendees had the unique op-portunity to observe methods, discussed in the conference, being utilized at an active con-struction site on the BYU cam-pus. Proceeds from the confer-ence were used to endow a scholarship in Civil & Environ-mental Engineering in the name of Wally Baker, founder of Hayward Baker, Inc. We

would like to recognize Dr. Kyle Rollins for all his efforts in or-ganizing the conference as well to thank everyone for their at-

tendance.

The Geotechnical Group will be undertaking some changes in 2012 as it transitions into a chapter of the national Geo-Institute (G-I) Organization, joining more than 11,000 pro-fessionals. There are numer-ous benefits to the formation of a Utah G-I Chapter, which include connecting with na-tional-local resources, in-creased exposure and access to events, conferences, webi-nars, publications, and net-working. Additional opportuni-ties include collaborative fo-rums, providing travel ex-

penses for cross-country lec-tures, access to speaker bu-reaus, specialty certifications (academes through ASCE) and much more. In the coming months we will be reaching out to Geotechnical Group mem-bers both to reengage and gain a better understanding of how the formation of our chap-ter can benefit members and practice in Utah. We look for-ward to your engagement and

are excited for the transition.

As all of you should know, the ASCE Utah Section Board chose to donate $5,000.00 to the Rescue Mission of Salt Lake for their community service project. On Monday February 27, 2012, President Matthew Roblez and President Elect Dr.

David Eckhoff presented the executive director of the Rescue Mission, Chris Croswhite the check.

This funding was pledged last September and was in-tended to upgrade their failing HVAC system. The pledge was timely because last November on Thanksgiving weekend, one of their heaters completely failed. The funding pledged to the mission allowed them to pur-chase a new modern era heater and have some money left over for other needs of the mission. Had this money not been pledged, many individuals that the Rescue Mis-

sion serves would have had to go without heat.

An article of this event will be running in the Salt Lake Tribune in the upcoming weeks. If any of you have any community service projects that you would like to see funded or performed, please contact our Community Ser-vice Committee Chairperson and current Wasatch Front

Branch president - Shawna Smith, P.E.
