Daniel W. Mead Technical Paper

The MEAD Technical Paper is the only required competition at the symposium. ASCE PSWS uses the MEAD Paper Topic, which asks students to write a technical paper related to engineering ethics. An individual member carries out this presentation and must answer questions by a panel of judges regarding their paper’s topic. One winner from the ASCE Pacific Southwest Student Symposium will be named the Symposium Paper Competition Champion.

Pearce Ferriter chose civil engineering because he wanted to come up with solutions to some of the biggest problems our generation faces such as climate change and aging infrastructure. He joined CSUN ASCE in order to help CSUN get recognized as the best school for civil engineering students in Southern California. During the 2019-2020 school year, Pearce hosted many outreach events for CSUN ASCE such as CHLA Volunteering Events, STEAM Institute for Educators, and Popsicle Bridge Competition.
