Reaching Higher in Engineering

Justin P. Long '09 (EIT)

"I was a student in the SFU 3+2 Engineering program from 2006 until I graduated in May 2009. From there, I moved on to The Pennsylvania State University where I continued my studies in Civil/Structural Engineering. There I became a member and Treasurer of Chi Epsilon, a national Civil Engineering Honors Society and graduated with distinction. In addition to my diploma, I passed the FE Exam and am now a Licensed EIT (Engineer in Training) on my way to earning my PE (Professional Engineer) License.

Currently, I work as a Field Engineer for Clark Concrete, a subsidiary Department of Clark Construction located in Bethesda, MD. Clark Construction is rated by ENR as the 3rd largest contractor in the US and has completed many notable projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic to include Fed-Ex Stadium, Washington Nationals Stadium and many others.

As a Field Engineer I am responsible for the layout, quality control and overall structural concrete construction of our projects. Currently, I am working at our DC City Center Project valued at over 450 million dollars."
