Energy infrastructure received a grade of D+ in the 2025 Report for America's Infrastructure, published by American Society of Civil Engineers. Bryce Yonker discusses why the energy sector received a low rating with Michael Miller, vice president of technical services at Exo and a member of ASCE. Miller says the four main factors that contributed to the grade include higher load growth, systems operating closer to limits, challenges to distribution grids, and the public's lower tolerance for power outages. Miller discusses best practices for asset inspections, the need to have a national standards, and how state legislatures can have a positive impact on hardening America's energy infrastructure.

In this week's MBA admissions podcast we began by discussing the Round 3 activity on LiveWire; interview invites and final decisions continue to roll out for this shortened application round; next week UPenn / Wharton, Northwestern / Kellogg, IESE, MIT / Sloan, Yale SOM, Minnesota / Carlson, Columbia, Washington / Foster, UCLA / Anderson and Washington / Olin are scheduled to release final decisions. Graham noted a new Clear Admit promotion, where for every new entry we receive on DecisionWire, that maps out a candidate's entire application journey, Clear Admit will donate $10 to the Forte Foundation. Graham then highlighted Clear Admit's MBA admissions fair in Boston, on Wednesday. This event includes panel discussions, one of which is focused on Consulting hiring and is led by Bain. Twenty-four of the top 25 U.S.-based MBA programs are planning to attend, along with London Business School. Signups for this event are here: https://bit.ly/mbafair2025 The remainder of Application Overview events series will then be hosted, virtually, on May 20 and 21. Signups for those events are here: https://bit.ly/appoverview25 Graham noted two articles recently published on Clear Admit. The first covers the broad topic regarding what you can do with an MBA, looking at post MBA careers. The second article is a deep-dive research piece that examines placement statistics of the top MBA programs, for those seeking an MBA for their entrepreneurial ambitions. It's no surprise that Harvard and Stanford top the list of programs that future entrepreneurs join. Graham highlighted three Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from HEC / Paris who established a Search Fund, Washington / Olin working at Applied Materials, and Ohio State / Fisher working at Bank of America. Finally, Graham discussed a forthcoming podcast featuring the leader of career services at Georgetown / McDonough. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is an engineer who is now working in the renewable energy space. They have a 3.57 GPA and need to retake the GRE. This week's second MBA candidate is from Canada, and is also an engineer, working in Toronto. They have nine years of experience, and a 337 GRE. The final MBA candidate is deciding between Cornell / Johnson, UVA / Darden and Michigan / Ross, and is seeking a career in investment banking. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

Career planning is important because it helps you manage your career effectively and achieve your professional goals. By planning your career, you can focus on your overall objectives and not just your immediate plans, which can lead to a more fulfilling and successful career path.  Planning your career allows you to define what you want to achieve and carefully plan the steps to make it happen. It helps you build your career on your own terms and can be an adaptive process that evolves as your life changes. On the other hand, it is often said, letting your career happen without planning can lead to missed opportunities and a lack of direction. But is this true - what happens when you are driven more by opportunities that arise than by knowing where you want to go?   Guest Bio: Civil Engineer Keith Farndale. He has worked in construction management from 1974. He was a “designated consulting engineer” in Ontario. He ran a successful project management consulting and training business based in the GTA from 1993 to 2014 (21 Years). He taught PM non-credit and degree credit courses in the MEng programme at University of Toronto since 1993. (note: now a “retired” PEng in Ontario.)  He holds a BEng in Civil Engineering from the University of Waterloo and an MBA from McMaster University.

In this special episode, four of us sit down in Austin Texas to discuss the State of Civil Engineering, Infrastructure, entrepreneurship and the future of the A&E career. We also take a deep dive into Scott's career and the origins of Level Engineering & Architecture, as well as Level Design Partners.Scott Zurn (Founder and CEO of Level Engineering & Level Design Partners) observed some serious issues in his profession. His peers were dissatisfied and things started heading in the wrong direction.In 2015, Scott Zurn founded Level Engineering, a national firm of independent design professionals collaborating and ensuring that our built world is positively impacting the planet we live on. Level Engineering & Architecture aims to create a new level of entrepreneurial success for designers while simultaneously creating designs that contribute to a thriving planet.The idea for Level Engineering didn't come to fruition without the extensive experience he had in the engineering and public works sector. Scott has worked as the Public Works Director for the City of Estes Park, Civil Engineer for the City of Longmont, and a Project manager for the City of Thornton. In 2013, Scott was named the Transportation Professional of the Year by ITE. He was also designated as a Public Works Leadership Fellow by the American Public Works Association (APWA). He has secured and managed 100s of millions of federal grants and grant-funded NEPA studies and transportation projects. He earned the ENR Best Project of 09, for a 300-acre Brownfield Redevelopment including $250 million dollars in infrastructure bridges and 650,000 sf of retail development.We're also joined by Peter Modica, P.E. (Structural Engineer in Austin, Texas) who joined Level in 2024 and Andrew Dominguez (Entrepreneur and Growth Strategist) to extract unique perspectives of Scott's story and paint a picture of the future.Some of what we discuss includes:Interstates, pollution and the state of infrastructurePolitical impactLeaning into technologyGoing out on your own as an EngineerHow Scott got the idea for Level and how he proved it could work110k salary director level (after 30 year career) to making $450k on his ownStarting and building a new business model in A&EThe Human ConvenienceFor Benefit business modelWhy Peter (PE) joined LevelStamping for the first time (and the stress that can come with it)Being connected to the work + mentorshipMarketinghttps://levelengineering.com/about-scott-zurnConnect with us: The Level Design Podcast is a podcast for Architects and Engineers who want to thrive in this industry by creating more freedom, fulfillment and financial security.Dive deeper, fill out the form, and our leadership team will personally connect with you, address your questions and explore reclaiming your professional independence.www.levelengineering.com

Dr. Pierre Julien joined the Colorado State faculty almost 40 years ago, where he worked at CSU's Engineering Research Center and Hydraulics laboratory. His book, Erosion and Sedimentation, is one of my most common references, and several of the algorithms we have in HEC-RAS (particularly for mud and debris flows) come directly from this text.   But while Dr. Julien's textbook includes as many partial differential equations and tensors as any other hydraulics text – maybe more – it also includes “rules of thumb” scattered throughout. I have integrated several of these nuggets of actionable, river mechanics wisdom into my field toolbox.  They are heuristics I use regularly to quickly triage river processes and engineering proposals while standing next to a river or sitting in a meeting. So I was curious if these rules of thumb would make an appearance in our conversation…and I was not disappointed.  We do talk some theory.  He shared a couple great metaphors that helped me visualize some of the complex theoretical principles of fluid mechanics better than I had going into the conversation. But Dr. Julien does, also, intentionally develop these decision heuristics and rules of thumb, to help practitioners quickly rule in or rule out alternatives and they popped up throughout our conversation. Dr Julien won the Einstein award in 2004 and the Hunter Rouse award in 2015 the American Society of Civil Engineers lifetime achievement awards for sediment and hydraulics respectively (which is apt as we ended up talking about both the men those awards were named after).  He was also named a Distinguished Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers - their highest honor - in 2022. Dr. Julien has completed projects world-wide with 50 different agencies including world bank and UNESCO and has guided at least 120 masters students and 44 PhDs from 16 different countries.This series was funded by the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program.Mike Loretto edited the first three seasons and created the theme music.Tessa Hall is editing most of Season 4.Stanford Gibson (HEC Sediment Specialist) hosts.Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website:https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/the-rsm-river-mechanics-podcast...but most of the supplementary videos are available on the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibsonIf you have guest recommendations or feedback you can reach out to me on LinkedIn or ResearchGate or fill out this recommendation and feedback form: https://forms.gle/wWJLVSEYe7S8Cd248

Clean water, paved roads, public transit, electricity and gas, sewers, waste processing, telecommunication, even the Internet – all this infrastructure is what makes cities work and powers our lives, often seamlessly and silently. Virtually everything we do and consume depends on infrastructure. Yet, most people have little to no idea how these systems work. How is water treated? How do cities manage rainwater? Why do traffic jams exist? How is electricity generated and distributed? What happens to trash after it is picked up? How does the Internet work? In The Infrastructure Book: How Cities Work and Power Our Lives (Prometheus Books, 2025), world-renowned urban engineering expert Sybil Derrible reveals the behind-the-scenes machinations of the foundational systems that make our societies function. Visiting sixteen cities around the world and their unique approaches to organizational challenges – from water distribution in Hong Kong to waste management in Tokyo, and from Chicago's power grid to low Earth orbit satellites in space – this highly readable book uses fascinating case studies and historical detours to show how infrastructure works – and, sometimes, doesn't. With large-scale infrastructure repairs looming and the need for existing infrastructure to be transformed, the book also shows how infrastructure can be more sustainable and resilient. After reading The Infrastructure Book, readers will never look at a city the same way. Sybil Derrible is a professor of urban engineering and director of the Complex and Sustainable Urban Networks Laboratory at the University of Illinois Chicago. He is a world-renowned scholar on infrastructure and a lead author on the United Nations Environmental Program's Seventh Global Environment Outlook (GEO-7) report. He received the Walter L.

Debunking the “Profit Myth,” Ann Wilson reveals how to align money flow in business with personal goals. Discover strategies that prioritize profit, pay yourself first, and separate self-worth from financial value. Gain practical tips and fresh mindsets to achieve financial freedom and empowerment.Ann Wilson is a global wealth expert, best-selling author, speaker, and financial empowerment activist.In this episode, Melinda and Ann talk about:The importance of money flow within a business and paying oneself firstFinancial literacy in coaching and its impact on effectivenessAnn's journey from debt to financial freedom and the need for financial educationRedefining priorities to align financial management with personal dreamsInterrupting negative storylines to effect real change in financial habitsThe significance of self-worth and financial health in coachingPricing based on value provided versus self-worthThe concept of “worthiness” and separating it from monetary concernsEncouraging a shift from revenue focus to determining necessary profit for personal goalsImportance of planning for financial freedom through investments and strategic contribution“Paying myself first meant I had to do a radical shift in what I call being absolutely selflessly selfish.” — Ann WilsonGuest Bio:Ann Wilson, known as “The Wealth Chef,” is a best-selling author, speaker, and financial empowerment activist. She believes everyone can experience abundant wealth in their lifetime and have all the money they need to live an unlimited life. That is why she is dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and liberating people to create a positive relationship with money, as well as providing them with simple, actionable, and effective tools to build wealth.By age 38, Ann achieved her own financial freedom, meaning she can now stop working whenever she chooses and her assets will continue earning her all the money she needs (and more) to live the lifestyle she wants forever. She didn't have a family inheritance, a business she sold for millions, or a lucky win in the lottery. She simply taught herself to master the key ingredient to live an “unlimited life” — money.But before that, in her 20s, despite an excellent education and a successful career as a Civil Engineer, she was financially illiterate and drowning in debt. By learning how money really works and taking action, Ann was able to turn her life around.Currently based in South Africa, Ann is constantly gallivanting around the globe, speaking to audiences, helping people transform their money world, revelling in nature, and pursuing her curiosity about what a wealthy life means in different cultures and to different people. Ann is  living proof that no matter who you are, where you start in life, or what has happened in your past, you too can create financial freedom and live your unlimited life.Resources or websites mentioned in this episode:MiraseeCoaches ConsoleMelinda's book: The Confident Coach and The Professional Coach Ann's website: TheWealthChef.com5-Day Wealth Plan Challenge: Wealth Made Simple — Discover the precise amount of money required to live the life you desire!Credits:Host: Melinda CohanProducer and Editor: Michi LantzExecutive Producer: Danny InyMusic Soundscape: Chad Michael SnavelyMaking our hosts sound great: Home Brew AudioTo catch the great episodes that are coming up on Just Between Coaches, please follow us on Mirasee FM's YouTube channelor your favorite podcast player.

In today's podcast we try to understand how the infrastructure investment we have planned across the UK can actually be turned into better sustainable outcomes for communities. To tackle this hugely important issue, my guest today is Professor Jim Hall, the 160th President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, professor of climate and environmental risks at the University of Oxford and commissioner for the soon to be wound down – or is it on - National Infrastructure Commission.Now, in his inaugural speech to the ICE, Jim rightly pointed out that the infrastructure civil engineers provide is central to sustainable development. Yet, he added that, around the world governments continually struggle to provide those much-needed infrastructure services.The question is why, and, of course, how can infrastructure professions start to really move the dial when it comes to ensuring that, for all the investment and enthusiasm, we are getting the right sustainable outcomes – the social economic and environmental outcomes from infrastructure systems we already have in place and from the new ones that are slated to be built as part of the on-going global drive towards economic and social growth.Make no mistake, there are some huge opportunities ahead – but there are also huge challenges. Not least in a world increasingly led by climate change sceptics and vested corporate interests.Well let's find out what more the profession can do by chatting to an internationally recognised expert in strategic infrastructure planning.

Born in Iraq, Sairan left her home country in 1997 to pursue the American Dream. Influenced by her father, she chose a career in Civil Engineering, dedicating herself to the field and excelling in systems integration and project delivery.But despite her success, Sairan found herself drawn to a new path—one that would allow her to tap into her true passion for empowering others.

Enrolling in a coaching certificate program, she discovered a hidden gem: the ability to mentor women seeking their own hidden gems. Since then, Sairan has coached hundreds of women, guiding them to tap into their own hidden gems and build more authentic, impactful careers.In this episode, Sairan shares the powerful lessons she's learned from her journey—from navigating a career shift and embracing uncertainty to the importance of being true to yourself, your values, and your true calling.
