SCS Engineers is excited to participate in the 2024 Professional Development Day, hosted by the San Diego State University Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Join us on Wednesday, October 9th, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at Montezuma Hall in the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union. This event recognizes the achievements of students from the Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) Department and connects them with top engineering firms across San Diego.

Professional Development Day is a valuable opportunity to network with aspiring engineers, explore internship and employment opportunities. Each year, this event draws over 500 CCEE students and 60 professional engineering companies, making it a prime recruitment event. We look forward to engaging with future industry leaders and discussing potential career pathways. Stop by our booth to learn more about SCS and how you can join our team!

The composting site developed and managed by the NYC Compost Project Hosted by Big Reuse is a decentralized, urban composting system that is sustainable and viable for urban settings and helps to advance the technology and equipment needed for sites of this scale.

Similar processing sites could be sited and operated across New York City. Organics comprise 31% of New York City’s waste stream, and a significant portion can be composted locally and returned to the environment to support green spaces. Decentralized community compost operations are part of the solution to recycling food scraps and diverting this material from landfills. Medium-sized community composting sites can exist in dense urban settings because they are neighborhood assets, as education centers, green spaces, and compost sources for community greening projects. With well-designed systems and appropriately-scaled equipment, they can be managed so that no odor or pest issues are created. These sites reduce carting distances and serve as an impetus for changing local land management practices by making high quality compost abundantly available.
