Greenroads Bootcamp at Cal Poly Pomona



Dear students, faculty and friends,

You might have heard about Greenroads, the sustainability rating system for roadways, bridges and transportation infrastructure. As part of our efforts to learn more and better understand “sustainability” we invited them to our campus and they kindly agreed to present a half-day workshop on Greenroads on Friday February 27th. This is a great opportunity to learn more about sustainability and sustainable design and construction practices for infrastructure projects. The following topics will be covered:

·         Environment and Water
·         Access and Livability
·         Materials and Design
·         Construction Activities
·         Utilities and Controls

The seminar is presented by Dr. Jeralee Anderson, Executive Director of the Greenroads Foundation. Dr. Anderson will also talk about the Sustainable Transportation Professional (STP) credential and how students and professionals can earn this certification.

Cal Poly Pomona students and faculty can attend the seminar for free. There are two sessions: one in the morning from 8 to 12 and we encourage students to register for this session. The afternoon session is primarily for faculty and professionals and it runs from 1 to 5pm.  To register please go to the link below and select either the morning or afternoon session. The same material will be presented in both sessions but we plan for a larger audience and a larger room in the morning.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. We look forward to see you there.

It is always exciting to look back at the origins, to look for a future direction, to assess where we are and to envision where we would like to be: 10, 15, 20 years from now. And yes, we even went back to the meaning of the word ENGINEER ... which has its origins in the Latin word INGENIUM, meaning “innate quality, especially mental power, hence a clever invention.” This is why in many foreign languages "engineer" starts with an "i", e.g.: ingeniero (Spanish), ingénieur (French), ingenieur (German) and the list goes on. So in our process of searching for a vision, we first rediscovered the meaning of the word engineer: INGENIOUS. How would you like to study Civil Ingenuity instead of Civil Engineering? The next step was to formulate a mission and educational objectives - the things that we would like you, our students, ...
