Please describe the publication's mission and readership:

Civil Engineering’s 90,000 readers are civil engineers working for engineering firms or local, state, or federal governments or authorities. The mission of Civil Engineering is to provide a deeper understanding of the wide variety of issues, challenges, innovations, and achievements of the civil engineering profession and of its practitioners and leaders. Civil Engineering is edited for an intelligent, well-educated, and well-read readership—a readership that is also sophisticated in terms of the use of photography and graphics. With respect to the graphic design of the magazine, the layout of each article is developed to strengthen—or reinforce—the editorial focus of the article. The objectives of the magazine as a whole are to strengthen the readers’ understanding of civil engineering, to showcase civil engineering projects in ways that enhance the creators’ pride in the projects, and to make the magazine a pleasure to read.

Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Civil Engineering News is designed to provide a brief look at the new and noteworthy. Articles in this department range in length from approximately 500 to 1,200 words and serve as means of educating civil engineers on new developments in such subjects as design, technical innovation, infrastructure, mass transit, sustainability, historic preservation, urban planning and renewal, flood protection, and industry forecasts. These topics are varied each month so as to satisfy readers working in a broad spectrum of civil engineering subdisciplines: structural engineering, transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental and water resources engineering, and coastal engineering.
