The College of Engineering Seminar Series is looking for speakers! 

The College recently did some surveying of the attendees and community at large about the Seminar, and they overwhelmingly asked for more Civil and Arctic Engineering talks, and preferred project-based or skills-based talks (over academic ones). The College is especially interested in innovative methods or technology, challenging designs or construction limitations, or cool Alaska infrastructure/events (like the new Juneau Creek Falls bridge, or earthquake retrofits, etc.).

If interested in presenting, reach out to Professor and Chair Scott Hamel directly.

Save the date for the ITE Alaska Section Annual Scholarship Fundraiser & Silent Auction. The event will be held on January 21st, and ITE will be hosting this event at the Alaska Zoo. Please contact alaska@itedsc.org for more information.

The Alaska Professional Design Council issued a candidate questionnaire to the Alaska State Senator & House of Representative Candidates, ahead of the November 8^th Election. APDC received responses from 6 candidates for the State Senate race, and 9 candidates for the State House of Representatives Race. Below you’ll see the three questions we put forward to the candidates, and a list of representatives who responded either in favor, in opposition, or requested more information. Our questions this year were similar to the positions we advocated for during our legislative fly-in in Juneau, and covered the topics of the Capital Budget, Qualifications-Based Selections, and Interior Design Licensure.
