- Abstract
The History and Heritage programs seek to educate both our profession, and the public at large, in all facets of the history of Civil Engineering from the monumental to the mundane. In this way we will all come to better understand the role engineers have had, and continue to have in transforming society. The profession, even before it was formally recognised as such, has always responded to society's changing needs and demands and has therefore had an enormous impact on our economy, the appearance of our landscape, and the health of our people. The fruits of our predecessors' labour make up the heritage that is entrusted to us. It is our duty to know it and protect it so that others may know it, learn from it, and enjoy it. The history and heritage programs of ASCE, so many and varied, are in keeping with this duty.
