From the Editor: Message to Graduates (and All Engineers): Go Out and Do Good
I was pleased to attend the annual meeting of the Indiana Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers, which included a competition among college students who presented their senior design projects to an audience and a panel of judges. The senior civil engineers in the four colleges—University of Evansville, Purdue University, University of Notre Dame and Valparaiso University—showed a wide range of civil knowledge, and their presentation skills were admirable. The design projects incl...
Executive Corner: An Inside Look at the Landmark ESOP Valuation Case
For over a decade, the Department of Labor (DOL) has carried out a controversial and aggressive enforcement effort targeting valuation issues in employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs).

Threading the Needle: Rebuilding 100-Year-Old Transit Infrastructure Above the Streets of Chicago
The city of Chicago features an undeniable legacy of design innovation. Based on a long history of pushing the limits of possibility through experimentation, Chicago has been something of a smart-city laboratory ever since the Great Chicago Fire left huge swaths of property ripe for redevelopment in 1871. Home to more than a few 20th century design giants, including famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the father of skyscrapers Louis Sullivan, among others, Chicago has long been regarded as on...
