Every family and business needs infrastructure to thrive – from your road to work, to your internet, to the pipes bringing clean water to your house. In a new app format, the American Society of Civil Engineers' 2013 Report Card for America's Infrastructure puts the most comprehensive and clear reference available on America's infrastructure in your pocket. Complete with videos, state profiles, and interactive content, this app shows how our infrastructure is doing and what needs attention.

The Philadelphia Section was one of 15 technical societies in our region that participated in the "Newspapers in Education" program. This Philadelphia Inquirer program creates newspaper supplements highlighting different professions, and distributes them to over 40,000 students throughout the region. The newspaper supplements are created with students in mind, and are used by teachers to bring real-world information into the classroom. Special Thanks to the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia who administered the engineering newspaper supplement. They deserve a lot of credit for organizing this successful engineering outreach publication. Thanks also to our Younger Member Forum for providing the Section's submission for the publication.
