Civil Engineering Magazine – Letter to the Editor
I have attached a letter to the editor of Civil Engineering magazine, which is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). It was published in the February 2008 edition. The magazine had recently published two articles that had gotten my attention. The first was an article regarding recovery in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and the second was an article summarizing a proposal for new educational standards for civil engineers. In the attached letter, I propose new flood damage prevention standards in New Orleans taking into account the limitations of levees. I also propose how the educational standards could be complemented by new licensure standards.
