On October 29th, TCNJ XE hosted Mr. Sam Donelson, PE, Chief Executive of AECOM’s U.S. East and Latin America Region, who gave an inspiring presentation on the technical dimensions of large-scale infrastructure projects. He spoke about design considerations, such as structural systems and sustainability; construction management techniques that ensure safety, quality, and schedule adherence; and program management strategies used to coordinate multiple disciplines and stakeholders on mega-projects.

On 11/5, together with TCNJ’s SWE and ASCE chapters, XE welcomed back two of our alumni, Charlotte Roarty (’23) and Owen Soler (’23). They presented a step-by-step workflow for site development and traffic analysis, illustrating key concepts with real-world case studies. Each project example showcased practical challenges and solutions, offering valuable insights into how engineering principles are applied.

Thank you to all the presenters for taking the time to talk to us!
