Structural engineer Bianca Casern, BE., M.ASCE, says one of the most rewarding aspects of her job is the humanity behind each project - something she didn't realize she could experience in the beginning of her career. Casern is a 2023 New Faces of Civil Engineering-Professional. You are a design engineer at Degenkolb Engineers in Seattle. What does your day to day look like? My focus at Degenkolb is on building forensics, which entails examining and repairing existing, damaged buildings. What I do is help with repairs. That means I'm doing the repair drawings and then working with the city, county, or permitting agent to make sure that rebuilds can begin as soon as possible. I'm currently overseeing a single-family home that experienced a tree strike. About a quarter of the roof is gone, so the people who live there are temporarily displaced. |
