CEA - Becoming a ASCE New Faces Honoree with Danielle Schroeder

<p>Today’s guest is Danielle Schroeder, an Associate Engineer for Pennoni Associates in Philadelphia and an honoree of the ASCE’s 2021 New Faces of Civil Engineering. She first learned about the field while attending an engineering girl’s camp as a high school student, and then went on to graduate with both a Bachelor and Master of Science in Civil Engineering from Drexel University. After graduation, she has worked on a wide range of projects, including retrofitting the Burlington-Bristol Bridge.</p> <p>As a huge advocate for and leader of STEM outreach events among young people, particularly young women from kindergarten to 12th grade, Dani talks about the importance of such events and how people can get involved with them. By elaborating on her past experiences, she mentions the importance of trying different things before deciding on which branch of civil engineering to go into, as well as the importance of taking risks for those young women---and men---engineers out there.</p> <p><strong>Resources (some links are affiliate links)</strong></p> <p>Danielle Schroeder (LinkedIn) - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-schroeder">https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-schroeder</a></p> <p>Danielle Schroeder (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/danitheengineer/?hl=en">Instagram</a> / <a href="https://twitter.com/danitheengineer?lang=en">Twitter</a>) - @danitheengineer</p> <p>Drexel University - <a href="https://drexel.edu/">https://drexel.edu</a></p> <p>Pennoni Associates - <a href="https://www.pennoni.com/">https://www.pennoni.com</a></p> <p>Jacobs Engineering - <a href="https://www.jacobs.com/">https://www.jacobs.com</a></p> <p>Transportation YOU Program - <a href="https://www.wtsinternational.org/chapters/philadelphia/student-outreach/transportation-you">https://www.wtsinternational.org/chapters/philadelphia/student-outreach/transportation-you</a></p> <p>WTS - <a href="https://www.wtsinternational.org/">https://www.wtsinternational.org</a></p> <p>American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) - <a href="https:
