2019-2020 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

BY STACY COLLETT

NAVIGATING A
AMID SIMILAR

New technology has the engineering industry at an inflection
The engineering profession continues
to ride the wave of a robust economy, an
abundance of projects in the pipeline and
positive employment numbers.
"This has been a really significant time in
our industry in that the public and private
sectors are both booming at the same time,"
says 2019-2020 Executive Committee
Chair-elect Charles Gozdziewski, chairman emeritus of Hardesty & Hanover. "I
do not know if that has happened to this
degree in the last 30 to 40 years."
At the same time, the industry finds
itself at an inflection point that will have a

profound impact on the profession. As
technologies such as automation, machine
learning and augmented reality permeate
all sectors, private companies are taking
over some state and local infrastructure
projects. Furthermore, some of the fastest
growing companies like ride-sharing service Uber do not have tangible assets. As
a result, the traditional economic drivers
are changing.
How should engineering firms prepare
for the future? And what leadership skills
will be required to take today's firms to
the next level of success?
Members of the 2019-2020 ACEC
Executive Committee offer their views
on how opportunities for the engineering
industry far outweigh the challenges as
well as the prospects that will drive the
industry into the future.

Since ExCom Senior Vice Chair Jerry
"Jay" Wolverton Jr. began his career
35 years ago, the amount of data available
at engineers' fingertips has completely
changed the work environment. And that

data will help transform future projects,
he says.
"Cities around the world are investing
in connected infrastructure, and it is going
to help us better manage urban assets, such
as wastewater treatment plants, roads and
public transit by monitoring things as they
are being built and used, optimizing facilities and moving people about in the right
ways," says Wolverton, president and CEO
of Wolverton & Associates.
Vice Chair W. Arthur Barrett sees
exciting opportunities to improve transportation services and road maintenance
