ASCE Miami-Dade Branch

On behalf of the Florida Engineering Society and all participating organizations, we are thrilled to invite you to our Joint Miami Engineering Holiday Social! This festive gathering is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the holiday season, connect with fellow professionals, and make a difference in our community. We’ll be collecting unwrapped toys for the Toys for Tots program, managed by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves. Your generous contributions will bring smiles to children whose families might otherwise struggle to provide gifts this holiday season. We look forward to celebrating with you. Don’t miss this chance to connect, give back, and spread holiday cheer. See you there!

The ASCE Miami-Dade Branch Outreach Committee successfully ran a food drive to bring joy to families in need during the holidays. Several boxes of non-perishable food were delivered to the FOOD FOR LIFE offices at 3510 Biscayne Boulevard. The Food For Life manager expressed her gratitude for the delivery, which will help feed 500 families with chronic illnesses on a weekly basis.?Anyone wanting to donate, please visit the Food For Life Network website at https://lnkd.in/e5P22gaw. This achievement was made possible by the generosity of our ASCE Miami-Dade Branch members, FIU Engineering campus/FIU ASCE students, and the employees at EXP, EAC Consulting, Inc., Black & Veatch, Choice Engineering Consultants, Inc, Ardurra, and T&DI Miami-Dade branch members. Thank you so much for making a significant difference in the lives of many families. #ASCE #THANKSGIVING #FOODDRIVE #THANKS

Concrete Canoe Casting Day was a huge success!?? On Saturday, November 16th, our Panthers met bright and early at the Florida International University - College of Engineering & Computing (EC) Maker Space to build this year’s Concrete Canoe! Despite getting our hands and clothes full of concrete, we had a great time mixing, molding, and bonding with one another!??? We would like to thank everyone who attended this year’s Concrete Canoe Casting Day- the canoe wouldn’t have come out as amazing as it did without all your help. We would also like to thank Bart Rockett for collaborating with us and for the Space Age Rocks! Finally, we would like to give a huge thank you and shoutout to our Concrete Canoe Project Manager, Luis Avila, for leading this event and for making everything possible; his hard work and dedication made this event possible.?? #fiu #ascefiu #asce #civilengineering #engineering #stem #engineers #fall #fall2024 #fallsemester #asceconcretecanoe #2025ascestudentsymposium #canoe #concretecanoe #concretecanoecastingday #skills #dedication #knowledge #connect #opportunity #learningmoment #gopanthers #pawsup

On Friday, November 15th, our chapter, the Florida International University - College of Engineering & Computing, and the ASCE Miami-Dade Branch had the amazing opportunity to host the Cities of the Future Screening Event at Florida International University.?? Students from Southwest Miami Senior High School, Miami Coral Park Senior High, Hialeah Gardens High School, Christopher Columbus High School, and TERRA Environmental Research Institute/High School attended this amazing event where they watched the film.?? Along with watching the film, the event offered a variety of learning and outreach opportunities for all students from high school to college. There was also a panel discussion led by Ambar Alfaro, Erik M. Alcantara, PE, PMP, ENV SP, Marisela Aranguiz-Cueto, P.E., Anil Misra, & Omar Nofal (moderator), followed by student Q&As, and a chance to network with professionals and FIU faculty members.?

The ASCE Miami-Dade Branch Outreach was proud to be a Bronze sponsor for this year’s Construction Career Days! This event was a tremendous success, bringing together the construction industry, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and numerous consulting firms to inspire high school students from Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties to explore careers in engineering and construction. Our two chairs Roxana Matamoros, PE, ENV SP, M. ASCE & Jose Santiago, PE, ENV SP that participated in the Design Lab, where they had the privilege of guiding students in creating a typical roadway section using real project parameters. It was incredibly rewarding to witness the students' enthusiasm and creativity in action! Congratulations to everyone involved in making this event possible. Your hard work and dedication truly made a difference. We are already looking forward to next year’s event! Special thanks to ASCE FIU for their volunteer efforts! #ASCE #ASCEMiamiDade #ConstructionCareerDays #Engineering #STEM #Outreach
