Change the World through Engineering

Dream Big and the ASCE Foundation

"We need to raise awareness so that we can grab those brilliant minds and show them that through engineering they can change the world."

Menzer Pehlivan, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE

Civil Engineer

In 1999, a huge earthquake hit Turkey. Almost 18,000 people died and many more were injured when thousands of buildings collapsed. But this terrible event changed the life of 13-year-old Menzer Pehlivan in a different way. She wanted to help prevent these terrible tragedies in the future, so she decided to become a civil engineer specialising in earthquake safety. Although her teachers said only men could be engineers, she worked hard and achieved her goal. Her inspirational story is just one of many in 'Dream Big', a film made by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

What is 'Dream Big' about?

The ASCE Foundation released 'Dream Big' in 2017 and it's about the clever ways that civil engineers find solutions to problems people around the world face every day. We learn about the challenges that engineers face building some of the most amazing structures in the world, from the huge skyscrapers in Dubai to water cleaning projects in Africa. This fascinating film will inspire young people to consider a career in civil engineering to change the world.

I think the text is about how engineering can change the world for the better and inspire young people to choose a career in engineering. The title and the picture of the girl in a hard hat in front of the Earth suggest this.

Я думаю, что текст о том, как инженерия может изменить мир к лучшему и вдохновить молодых людей выбрать карьеру инженера. На это указывают заголовок и картинка с девочкой в каске на фоне Земли.
