Welcome to the Website for the ASCE Oregon Section.
The section was established in 1913 and turns 95 this year.
Webmaster Position Open
Do you have experience with website design or would you like to learn more website design while actually doing it? Your local ASCE section needs you. A fun way to become involved with the local Civil Engineering community is by volunteering a little of your time to become the ASCE Oregon Section webmaster. As webmaster, your duties will include keeping the award-winning website current with events and information as well as working with the community to stay on top of the latest news. We have a technical expert that supports our website from a hosting/networking perspective, so this frees up more of your time to focus on content. It is a great way to network while also being creative. Our current webmaster will get you started and will be available to help you along the way. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact our current webmaster, Melissa Robelo at melissa.robelo@otak.com or our section president (and past webmaster), Alex Lockard at alex.lockard@tteci.com.
