The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) has been working hard to promote the profession of civil engineering for over 200 years. The ICE provides professional qualifications, leads the debate on infrastructure and the built environment internationally and provides an unmatched level or training, knowledge and thinking to over 95,000 members around the world.
New Civil Engineer is the official magazine of the ICE and is distributed – in print or digital formats – to more than 50,000 readers each month.

It’s a perennial issue: civil engineers want better, sexier, wider coverage of their achievements. They want more people to come into the industry to boost the public’s view of engineering. So, what’s the response? The general comeback from communications – “Give us the information and we can do it…” But…
A third of civil engineers feel climate change is insufficiently prioritised in infrastructure design and delivery, according to research carried out by the ICE. A survey of 900 UK-based ICE members found that 66% of infrastructure professionals felt greenhouse gas emissions were given less or far less importance than they…
