Safety

ANNOUNCEMENT:

In an effort to further address urgent safety and health problems facing Americans in the workplace, OSHA is implementing a new Severe Violator Enforcement Program (SVEP) and increasing civil penalty amounts. This new program is intended to focus OSHA enforcement resources on employers who endanger workers by demonstrating indifference to their responsibilities under the law. This additional enforcement tool includes increased OSHA inspections in these worksites, including mandatory OSHA follow-up inspections, and inspections of other worksites of the same employer where similar hazards and deficiencies may be present.

Scholarships for Civil Engineering Students Entering Graduate School

ADSC: The International Association of Foundation Drilling, through its Industry Advancement Fund, invites graduate students from the United States and Canada to apply for scholarships up to $3000 for graduate study in geotechnical and/or structural engineering. ADSC is an organization of contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, and engineers in the foundation drilling and anchored earth retention system industries. ADSC’s goals for industry improvement recognize the need to invest in education and research and thus the Industry Advancement Fund was formed in 1986. Over the past twenty-three years, more than 250 scholarships have been awarded. These scholarships are intended to stimulate the involvement of highly qualified engineers in the industry, and the use and research of drilled shafts and anchored earth retention systems.

Application Requirements

Applicants must be currently enrolled in an ABET or CEAB accredited engineering program or be a graduate from such a program, and must plan to enter or continue graduate school during the current academic year. A minimum of fourteen scholarships are awarded annually. Full-time students are defined as being enrolled in 12 or more graduate school hours a semester. Part-time students are those enrolled in less than 12 graduate school hours, who also must work full- or part-time. In addition to the scholarship, winners will be flown (travel and lodging expenses paid) to the ADSC Annual Meeting, and be formally introduced to the membership.

To be considered, all application materials, including academic transcripts and letters of reference, must be received at ADSC Headquarters in Dallas, Texas, by the deadline established by the ADSC.

Scholarships and research grants are distributed based on standards that do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, national or ethnic origin.
