ASCE and MacGillivray Freeman Films – the team that brought Dream Big: Engineering our World to giant screens around the Worls have united to produce a new film inspired by ASCE’s Future World Vision Initiative: Cities of the Future.

ASCE Alaska Chapter is teaming with the Anchorage School District to bus seniors from West High, Dimond High, and Eagle River High to Beartooth Theaterpub for a screening of this documentary on Tuesday October 29th. ASCE will provide free food for the students + attendees, and will feature a panel discussion featuring local professionals across varied disciplines of Civil Engineering prior to the movie screening.

ITE Alaska will be hosting their September Luncheon as a Mini Workshop, Tuesday September 10th 12:00 – 1:00 pm, in the MOA Permit Center Training Room (4700 Elmore Road, in Anchorage AK).

The workshop, “What if we could? — A high level design charrette for planners and engineers,” was an idea born from an earlier ITE presentation on Winter Cycling Urbanism in Finland, and how similar insights could be applied in an Alaskan context. During this Mini Workshop, attendees will break into groups, run through a network planning/design exercise, then share ideas back out with the larger group. The purpose is to facilitate more peer exchange, foster creativity, and try out new formats for future training.
