Future of Civil Engineering Summit
In June 2006, some 60 civil engineer and non-engineer leaders gathered…
ASCE-Hosted Summit, Lansdowne, Virginia

Future of Civil Engineering Summit
…to look over the horizon.
![Page 7: Vision 2025: A New Role for Civil Engineers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814fc3550346895dbd7fd8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Broadly speaking, there are only two futures for civil engineering:
the one the profession creates for itself or, in the void,
the one others create for civil engineering
Why a Summit?

Vision 2025
Sets an aspirational target for a new global state of affairs:–The role of civil engineers in the
economy of the future……where civil engineers are: Entrusted Leaders Ethical role models Innovative thinkers – opportunity finders
![Page 16: Vision 2025: A New Role for Civil Engineers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814fc3550346895dbd7fd8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Excitement
Students on Vision 2025:
“A powerful statement.”
“Very impressive and enlightening.”
“One of the best professions.”
“Civil engineers will elevate standards of living.”
“Civil engineers are intelligent, charismatic, and powerful.”

The Excitement
Engineering organizations around the world have embraced the Vision– ASCE speakers invited for major presentations /
interaction in Brazil and Portugal– South Africa carried on discussions similar to the
Vision 2025 dialogue– An Arabic translation is being reviewed– In U.S., a professor at the University of Alabama
highlighted Vision 2025 to recruit students and dramatically increased enrollment

Spanish Translation
In June 2010, the Spanish Association of Civil Engineers*:– Endorsed Vision 2025– Dedicated its Spanish translation
A great service to the Spanish-speaking world

Vision 2025 in Chinese
In 2010, the China Civil Engineering Society endorsed the Vision
Working with ASCE, a Chinese translation was posted later that year
ASCE is partnering with the Chinese on a sustainability conference
