Erlanger-based civil engineering, land surveying and landscape architecture firm Viox & Viox recently held an event for local high school and college students to offer them a window into civil engineering as a career path.
“This event is all about opening doors and helping the next generation see what’s possible in civil engineering and design,” said Georgia Craddock, marketing & organizational development specialist at Viox & Viox, in a press release. “We want students to know these careers are within reach — and really exciting!”
Dubbed ‘Civil Bites & Insights,’ the event was held on July 15. Students learned about the overall landscape of the civil engineering sector, performed hands-on activities to introduce them to the work of land surveying, got a tour of a real job site, saw surveying demos using drones and other advanced equipment and had the opportunity to ask questions of working professionals in the field.
The firm hopes to host a similar event next year.
