CCEE receives inaugural ASCE Walter LeFevre Award

 

The Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering Department (CCEE) at Iowa State University has been honored with the inaugural Walter LeFevre Award by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

The award was established in 2007 by ASCE to recognize actions in promoting licensure, ethics and professionalism. Two awards are to be given annually: one for programs with over 50 graduates, such as Iowa State’s, and one for programs with 50 or fewer.

Criteria for the award include the percentage of graduates in a particular academic year who took the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination while enrolled in the program, the percentage of those graduates who passed the exam while enrolled in the program, and the percentage of eligible faculty who are licensed in a U.S. jurisdiction.

Professor and chair for the CCEE Department, James Alleman, will be bestowed with the crystal award at the National ASCE Conference on November 8, 2008, in Pittsburgh, PA.

The award is named for E. Walter LeFevre, Ph.D., P.E., Dist.M.ASCE, an emeritus member of the Arkansas Board and a past recipient of the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Distinguished Service Award.
