Congratulations to the Class of 2029 for earning their hard hats by completing their semester-long Future Cities projects and presenting their work to the faculty. Our aspiring civil engineers will now wear their hard hats during hands-on learning, field trips, and extracurricular activities until their commencement in May 2029. We look forward to watching this cohort evolve from curious learners into confident leaders and engineers.

Today, we are spotlighting Emma Gorton, a fourth-year civil engineering student. In the past three summers, she had the opportunity to intern with various firms in the St. Louis region. This summer, she was the rotating intern at Horner & Shifrin, where she explored the various civil engineering disciplines.

During her internship, Emma had the chance to see how classroom concepts come to life in real projects. She learned what parts of the profession challenge and excite her most, discovered a strong interest in transportation and civil site work, and gained confidence by seeing how engineers analyze problems, develop solutions, and collaborate with clients. Just as importantly, she expanded her network of mentors—especially women in leadership—who helped her envision a future in the field where her strengths, personality, and goals truly fit.

Emma is also involved in Fraternity and Sorority Life at SLU and is a member of the ASCE SLU award-winning concrete bowling team.

Meet Midhad Hodzic, a civil engineering student from St. Louis graduating this May!

In the summer of 2025, Midhad interned with Lockton Companies in St. Louis, where his work focused on risk engineering - learning how construction risk is assessed, mitigated, and communicated to clients.

During his time at Lockton, Midhad applied civil engineering concepts such as safety protocols and risk analysis, interpreted structural and geotechnical reports, and worked with tools like Excel and ArcGIS to analyze real‑world exposures. From reviewing technical reports to understanding how coverage recommendations connect to day‑to‑day operations, the experience provided invaluable industry insight.

When reflecting on this internship Midhad said: “Looking back, I can confidently say I’ve grown a lot, both professionally and personally, over the course of the summer. This experience has solidified for me that the intersection of construction and business is where I want to be. I feel more confident in my path, and I know I’m in the right industry.”

Meet Sofia Quintana, a Class of 2026 civil engineering student from Chicago, Illinois.

Sofia is dedicated to serving her community and is an active member of Alpha Phi Omega (APO) at Saint Louis University. Alpha Phi Omega is a collegiate service organization centered on the principles of leadership, friendship, and service. As an inclusive, co-educational organization, APO brings students together to strengthen their campuses and communities through meaningful volunteer work. Through her involvement with APO, Sofia has volunteered with initiatives such as Billiken Bounty and Day of Service, participating in projects with Great Rivers Greenway, neighborhood cleanups, tree planting efforts, assisting at the women’s shelter, and fundraising!

In addition to her service work, Sofia holds leadership roles within APO, where she currently serves as VP of Fellowship, helping to organize and create engaging events, supporting executive board initiatives, and fostering a sense of community by encouraging member involvement, building connections, and ensuring everyone can have fun while staying connected.

Beyond APO, Sofia is also involved in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) student chapter at SLU. Over the past three years, she has competed on SLU’s Concrete Bowling Ball team, earning first- or second-place finishes at the Mid-America Student Symposium, showcasing both her technical skills and commitment to teamwork.

Congratulations to Evan Genthon (team captain), Landon Winters, Emma Gorton, Ella Bodnar, My Tuyet Doanh, Sofia Quintana, and Jordan Britt, for earning Second Place in the Concrete Bowling Competition at the 2026 MidAmerica ASCE Student Symposium. 🥈

In this competition, teams develop a custom lightweight concrete mix and cast two bowling balls. During the event, one ball is used in a full 10-frame game to evaluate its performance on the lane, while another is tested under a compressive load to assess its toughness. Both balls are judged on how well they meet the target diameter and weight requirements, as well as how closely they match each other.

ASCE-SLU’s achievement reflects the team’s strong collaboration, technical expertise, and engineering skills, and illustrates the impact of experiential learning at .

The ASCE SLU 3D-printed bridge team earned two awards at the 2026 Mid-America ASCE Student Symposium: The Highest Stiffness Efficiency Award and 2nd Place Overall. 🥈

Congratulations to team members Grace Reed (Co-Captain/Structural Design Lead), Kelly Tuong (Co-Captain/Structural Design Lead), Ayana Asanova (Research/Fabrication & Manufacturing Lead), and Kyle Le (Research & Manufacturing Lead) for this accomplishment. A total of 17 universities participated in the symposium.

The ASCE 3D Printing Competition challenges student teams to design and manufacture scale-model bridges using additive manufacturing to test structural efficiency and innovation. Participants are scored on Aesthetics (visuals and presentation), Bridge Performance (load-bearing and stiffness), and Construction (assembly speed). This framework ensures that students balance creative architectural design with practical engineering constraints associated with rapid infrastructure assembly.

This achievement highlights SLU’s commitment to cutting-edge, forward-looking engineering education where students gain hands-on experience with emerging technologies that are shaping the future of infrastructure, construction, and design.

The team also acknowledges the SLU Center for Additive Manufacturing (CAM) for its support, which was instrumental in the successful design and fabrication of the bridge.

Students in the River Engineering course took a field trip to Fishpot Creek to observe firsthand how the complex principles they studied in the classroom manifest within a built environment.

River Engineering is the study of how water shapes the landscape and how we can work with those natural forces to manage riverbanks and channels. This class teaches students how to analyze sediment movement and river patterns so they can design stable, safe projects that protect both the environment and human infrastructure.

By applying these principles, civil engineers are able to design resilient flood control systems, bridges, and ecological restoration projects that harmonize with the dynamic, ever-changing behavior of natural water bodies. Sustainability and environmental stewardship are at the heart of this work, and they are embedded across the SLU’s Civil Engineering curriculum.
