A VISIT TO SIMCO

FROM COMPANY MEMBER AINARA: Before I entered the SIMCO conference room,  I never believed that engineering could be a way to better people's lives and advocate for new ideas.  I was proven completely wrong as soon as I met Bob and Katie at SIMCO. The meeting began with a brief story on what their practice does, including sustainability, transportation and adjustments for NYC. Not only did I learn about the importance of maintaining structures, but I learned that there are always civil engineers working to make our society safer place. Bob explained to us what he does on his job and the training he went though. Katie clarified that the engineering field has become a vast growing career option for women.  She also said that Emily Roebling became a symbol for women everywhere because not only did she surpass labels in a man’s world, but she built a landmark is beautiful and makes citizens' lives better.
