CEE 25@100
The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department celebrates its twenty-fifth graduating class May 2024 while Rowan University celebrates its one-hundredth year, hence 'CEE 25@100'. We have gathered memories from long-term faculty who arrived at Rowan between 1996 and 2002 and students who graduated every year from 2000 to 2024. The students were interviewed by Jess W. Everett, a CEE professor who arrived at Rowan in 1998 when the first cohort was in its Junior year and who plans to retire May 2025. The faculty answered a survey containing the student interview questions plus a few more. Professor Everett turned the interviews and surveys into short articles, which are arranged below in chronological order by year the professor arrived at Rowan or year the student graduated. Most of the interviews and surveys were completed in February and March of 2024. We hope you enjoy the memories. The 25@100 questions were adapted from Bill Carrigan's Project 100 in which he interviewed 100+ faculty and alumni associated with the History Department. Check it out, it is great!
For any viewers considering a career in Civil and Environmental Engineering, we have indicated general and primary specific work or research areas. The general areas are Structures, Environmental, Transportation, Water Resources, and Geotechnical.
