CASE, NCSEA and SEI have embarked on an update to their jointly prepared Vision of the Future of Structural Engineering. Having just re-read the previous statement released in May of 2019, I am struck by the number of developments that just four years later are reshaping the engineering profession. Many of these issues have been trending for a decade or more, but have gained an increased sense of urgency over the past four years. If you’ve been reading STRUCTURE Magazine, the topics will be familiar: climate change; diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI); an inadequate talent pipeline, changes in structural engineering licensure; artificial intelligence; the evolving built environment; resiliency and sustainability. A comprehensive vision of the future of structural engineering must consider all these challenges.
