ENGINEERING A COMMUNITY IN SOUTHERN NEVADA
The Southern Nevada Branch is one of three branches comprising the Nevada Section. The Southern Nevada Branch serves ASCE members who reside and work in Southern Nevada, primarily Las Vegas and surrounding areas. The Southern Nevada branch holds monthly luncheon seminars that provide technical information regarding local infrastructure projects and issues impacting engineers in Nevada. The luncheon seminars provide member's with professional development hours (PDH's) which are necessary for maintaining professional licensure. The Southern Nevada Branch also provides members the opportunity to network and volunteer with other local engineering associations.
The ASCE Southern Nevada Branch is committed to promoting education in the area of civil engineering. Some of the more notable roles of the Branch include promoting education through scholarship opportunities to University of Las Vegas Nevada ASCE Student Chapter members, promoting education through STEM activities, recognizing achievements of local civil engineers and engineering projects, and hosting technical seminars for young professionals, students and members.

2014 REPORT CARD FOR NEVADA'S INFRASTRUCTURE
Nevada’s infrastructure is struggling to meet the state’s needs with a growing population. The 2014 Report Card for Nevada’s Infrastructure gave the state’s infrastructure a grade of “C-.” The economic downturn from late 2008 through 2013 resulted in deferred maintenance, which took a toll on the state’s infrastructure. The Report Card identifies more than 15 billion in needs across Nevada’s critical infrastructure sectors over 20 years.
