Pathways to Professional Growth: An Introduction to UESI ‘s Certifications with Civil Engineering Certification (CEC)

Join leaders from the Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute (UESI) and Civil Engineering Certification (CEC) for an in-depth look at the evolving landscape of professional certification in utility engineering and surveying. This session will highlight recent milestones, including the launch of the Board Certified Pipeline Engineer-Water (BC.PLW) certification, and provide a preview of the upcoming Board Certified Project Utility Engineer (BC.PUE) credential and other future programs.

Attendees will gain insight into:

  • The purpose and structure of these certifications
  • How they support career development and industry standards
  • The collaborative roles of UESI, UESCB, and CEC in credential development
  • Future certification programs currently under discussion

Whether you're a practicing utility engineer, surveyor, or a manager seeking to support your team's professional growth, this session will help you understand how certification can elevate your practice and contribute to the broader civil engineering profession.

Presenters:

  • Jim Anspach, Dist.M.ASCE, NAC
  • John P. Campbell, P.E., SR/WA, M.ASCE – Chair (Eff. 10/01/2024)
  • Warren Green, P.E., BC.PLW, M.ASCE – Vice Chair (Eff. 10/2025)
  • Lawrence Arcand, P.Eng., M.ASCE - Technical Liaison, PUE
  • Phil Meis, PGP, P.E., M.ASCE - Technical Liaison, PUE

371 - Digital Twin Mobile Mapping with Integrating LiDAR and GPR    

Digital twin technology is revolutionizing surveying, civil engineering, and construction by facilitating the creation of virtual replicas of physical infrastructure and built environments. It offers platforms for design, construction, asset management, life cycle planning, and other applications.

Historically, data collection relied on sequential and standalone methods such as laser scanning, GPR, GNSS, aerial photogrammetry, and others. Advancements in technology now support simultaneous acquisition through integrated systems.

ASCE MOP 152 incorporates these advanced methods and underscores their significance in supporting engineering, construction, and many other industries. Collectively, it aims to establish a robust foundation for enhancing industry practices and adaptation.

Attendees will gain insight into:

  • Digital twin technology use in practical applications with case studies
  • The many methods of utilization that digital twin technology offers in utility and surveying engineering projects
  • ASCE MOP 152 as a contemporary framework for surveying engineering

Presenters:

  • Allan Ng, P.L.S., M.ASCE, M.CLSA
  • Matt Okubo
