Chi Epsilon

This summer Steve is an intern field engineer at CCA Civil’s Pulaski Skyway bridge deck rehabilitation project.  His day to day work includes inspecting the safety shield underneath the bridge and performing concrete quantity takeoffs.  Along with these responsibilities he assists other field engineers with their tasks such as field verifying design specifications and dealing with non-compliance reports.  In addition he helped monitor elevation changes at CCA Civil’s Wittpenn bridge concrete deck pour(s).  At CCA Civil, Stephen has gained experience by seeing the teamwork and skills it takes to manage a large construction project.

Mickey is currently interning with the Amtrak Track Department in Philadelphia. The experience that Mickey has gained includes work in design, construction management, and research. Mickey has played a key role in pedestal liner research conducted by Virginia Tech. He has analyzed data from old experiments and is currently designing an improved experiment to better prove the hypothesis of VT. Mickey has also made multiple visits to the New York Penn Station renewal project that Amtrak is working on until September 10th. Amtrak sends Mickey into the field at least twice a week to supervise construction or collect data for the design work done in the office.

This summer Anthony is an intern with EIC Group LLC. He is using the design knowledge he has gained at the Civil Engineering department @TCNJ to help design mostly temporary but also a few permanent structural and geotechnical structures around New Jersey and New York. EIC group LLC is located in Fairfield, NJ. EIC provides Structural and Civil Professional Engineering and Land Surveying services focused on the heavy highway construction industry throughout the nation, and at the residential and commercial market in the New York metropolitan area. Anthony is a great asset to the firm and is gaining a lot of experience that will surely help in the future.

Nick is spending an exciting summer at the FHWA Turner Fairbank Research Center as Geotechnical Research Intern in the STIPDG (Summer Transportation Internship Program for Diverse Groups) program. He is involved in research on geosynthetic textiles and roadway subbase properties. Besides day-to-day work at the office, the program provides field trips to different museums of transportation systems (marine, air, rail) and exclusive tours through DOTHQ and The Pentagon. Nick will complete his internship by writing a research paper.
