By: Daily Reporter Staff//February 21, 2024//
Listen to this articleThe American Society of Civil Engineers has announced the 2024 New Faces of Civil Engineering in the Collegiate category. Winners include Austin Cooper from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
Cooper has taken leadership roles in several ASCE programs, including serving as executive chair of the 2023 ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championships held at UW-Platteville. He also served as co-captain of the Concrete Canoe team and participated on the Steel Bridge Team.
Cooper plans to work as a structural engineer, focusing on bridges. He said an internship helped shift his focus from water to structures and said engineering is a rewarding and humbling way to give back to communities that helped shape him.
The New Faces of Civil Engineering program highlights and celebrates the academic and professional achievements of up-and-coming civil engineering students. The New Faces honorees will be recognized during ASCE’s Outstanding Projects and Leaders Gala in October, which is held in conjunction with the 2024 ASCE Convention in Tampa.
