Thanks to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for sponsoring this issue of the Pre-Engineering Times.

In this issue, you'll find the tools to help your students explore…assess…and experience engineering! From a look into the world of Ken Maschke and his work to build the second tallest building in the world to enjoying a hands-on activity where students will come to understand how torque affects an object and helps an engineer design structures that are safe and sound. Students will learn first-hand how civil engineering is all around them. Enjoy!
