For the third straight year, a Rose-Hulman Institute of
Technology senior has been selected among the nation's top civil engineering
students in CE News magazine's annual Star Students issue. Spring McEwen was among 40 students from the nation's top
engineering colleges and universities profiled in the December Star Students'
issue. The listing represents the future of the civil engineering profession,
according to CE News Project Director Holly Bradley. McEwen specializes in structural design after being an
engineering intern and assistant drafting coordinator for Metromont Prestress
(S.C.) during the past three summers. She also has gained experience in working
with AutoCAD, Excel, MathCAD and some engineering software programs. At Rose-Hulman, McEwen has been vice president of the Cecil
Lobo student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, president of
the Delta Delta Delta sorority and a member of the varsity women's soccer team.
She received the college's Cecil T. Lobo Scholarship, based on scholastic
performance; ASCE Alumni Award, based on dedication and service to the civil
engineering profession; and Student Government Association Leadership Award,
based on community service. She maintains a 3.71 grade point average. "These students' resumes read like a human resources
department's wish list," Bradley noted. Other colleges having students on this year's Star Student
list include Georgia Institute of Technology, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon,
Duke, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan and Rice. |
