ASCE has honored the writing team of Daniel Valero and Daniel Bung with the 2020 Karl Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize for the paper “Vectrino Profiler Spatial Filtering for Shear Flows Based on the Mean Velocity Gradient Equation,” published in the July 2018 issue of Journal of Hydraulic Engineering.
In this article, the authors provide a new method to filter ADV Vectrino profiler velocity estimations in...
You never know where life will take you.
And that uncertainty seems to only multiply when you’re a civil engineer.
The possibilities are infinite. Ask Pete Loucks.
Loucks remembers once taking a systems analysis assignment through UNESCO, evaluating the financial viability of different water delivery options in Libya. The next thing he knew he was wielding a racquet on the squash courts of Benghazi, hoping to parlay...
ASCE has honored Thomas Walski, Ph.D., P.E., D.WRE, F.EWRI, F.ASCE, with the 2019 Julian Hinds Award for his ability to bring theory and practice together in the field of urban water engineering and planning, and for his prolific production of papers, presentations, reviews, and books which have strongly contributed to and influenced the field of engineering.
Walski has made major contributions in the fields of...
Michael Paddock, P.E., M.ASCE, is a 30-year member of ASCE, a licensed civil engineer and surveyor. His professional career was spent managing teams of over 100 engineers designing infrastructure projects over $1 billion and was the youngest-ever recipient of Wisconsin’s “Engineer of the Year” award. After a near-death cancer experience, he was motivated to begin a pro bono engineering career that has delivered projects...
