CMA Vice President Jose L. Acosta, P.E., F.ASCE Served as Co-Chair for Future City Competition

Jose L. Acosta, P.E., F.ASCE served as a co-chair for the Future City Competition at FIU College of Engineering. 42 schools started the competition in August and seven moved on to compete in the South Florida Region competition. Future City is a national competition in which groups of middle school students present their idea of what a city would look like 100 years from now and how that city would effectively deal with the demands of a global sustainability problem. The project involves several components: a virtual model of the futuristic city, a physical model of a section of the city, an essay and a presentation. The students work with guidance from their teacher and an engineering mentor. For more information, please visit http://aln.fiu.edu/futurecity/
