Overview

American Society of Civil Engineers The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents more than 160,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest national civil engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment. Through the expertise of its active membership, ASCE is a leading provider of technical and professional conferences and continuing education, the world’s largest publisher of civil engineering content, and an authoritative source for codes and standards that protect the public. The Society advances civil engineering technical specialties through nine dynamic institutes and leads with its many professional- and public-focused programs. Trent R. Dames & William W. Moore Fellowship The Trent R. Dames and William W. Moore Fellowship was established in 1990 by the partners of Dames and Moore in honor of the firm’s founders for the purpose of advancing the science and profession of engineering and to enhance the overall welfare of mankind. The Trent R. Dames and William W. Moore Fellowship may be presented annually to two practicing engineers or earth scientists, professors, or graduate students, who will use the fellowship for graduate study. The purpose of the fellowship is to further the exploration of new applications of geotechnical engineering or the earth sciences to social, economic, environmental, and political issues.
