hat a year 2023 has been for our new publication, as well as engineering in the State of Florida. When we launched this magazine in April, we aimed to create a unified voice to inform the public and our legislative leaders about our efforts and the importance of engineering to the state.
We’ve covered stories of community resiliency in the face of catastrophic storms, detailed how state agencies and the engineering community are tackling record population growth, and relied on industry veterans on how to deal with pressing issues in the workforce like mental health, the use of artificial intelligence, and professional ethics.
We couldn’t have put together such a publication without our partners:
As we turn our attention from the Best Projects and People of 2023 to what is on the horizon in 2024, we’re excited to keep working to ensure Engineering Florida lives up to its purpose. Our success depends on your engagement and investment in this publication.
• Florida Engineering Society (FES) • American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida (ACEC Florida) • American Society of Civil Engineers Florida Section (FLASCE) • American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE) • Florida Structural Engineers Association (FSEA) • Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) Florida Chapters Our partners have helped ensure our publication stays fresh and wide-reaching with the latest engineering news and viewpoints from experts in our industry.
