Elizabeth (Betsy) Kirtland, P.E., M.ASCE, is a 29-year-old structural engineer who is living out her childhood dream on the bridge design team at Stantec in its Boston office. IBM engineers in Kirtland's community initially sparked her interest in engineering when she was a kid, and since then, she has not looked back. She is working on three projects: designing the second half of a rail trail, a rehabilitation project at Logan International Airport, and a movable bridge in Gloucester, Massachusetts. But as much as Kirtland enjoys her field, she has a passion for developing the next generation of engineers. Through her teaching and mentoring, she hopes to equip more minority and female students to bring their unique experiences and insights to the field. Kirtland is a 2023 New Faces of Civil Engineering-Professional. |
