Catholic University Architecture Students Build Soaring Spaceframe In The National Building Museum’s Great Hall

The spaceframe debuts a new technology that could revolutionize spaceframe design, and showcases innovation, sustainability, and hands-on architectural learning through a multi-year collaboration between The Catholic University of America School of Architecture and the National Building Museum. WASHINGTON, D.C. —Architecture students from The Catholic University of America will build a massive floating spaceframe in the  National Building Museum  in Washington, D.C., using sustainable materials and new technology that was designed in part by a student and professor at the University. This new approach could revolutionize spaceframe design and construction to be more sustainable, efficient, flexible, and affordable. Spaceframes appear in everything from geodesic domes and long-span roofs to solar arrays, aerospace systems, stadiums, and entertainment venues like The Sphere in Las Vegas. The Catholic University students will build The Wave, a soaring 180-by-55-foot, 4,300-pou...

With 1 in 3 engineering roles unfilled, Engineers Without Borders USA prepares the next generation

Denver, CO  –The United States is facing a desperate need for engineers. The  Boston Consulting Group  estimates the country will require about 400,000 new engineers each year. Yet nearly one in three engineering roles go unfilled due to a skills gap. The consequences are already visible, from delayed infrastructure projects to strained utilities, and communities waiting longer for essential services. Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA) is helping tackle this challenge head-on by preparing students with on-the-ground experience, leadership and teamwork training, and the development of real-world problem-solving skills that employers say are missing in recent graduates.  As the  American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the National Governors Association  call for strategic training and partnerships to address the generational engineering workforce shortage, EWB-USA is responding by showing students that engineering is more than just calculations a...
