2023-2024 Topic:
“In November of 2021, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal worth 1.2 Trillion Dollars was signed into law by the US President. Specific allotments were spread out among different specialized areas of engineering. How will this bill affect the country and more specifically, the civil engineering profession? Do you think any of the specialized civil areas needed a bigger or smaller allotment?”
