In episode 76 of The Civil Engineering Podcast, I interview two guests that work in the Civil Engineering world and have worked on very special engineering  projects that are helping our community and the world as a whole. They are Alan Lloyd, CIH, CSP, Associate Vice President and Corporate Health and Safety Officer from Pennoni, and Menzer Pehlivan, Ph.D., P.E., from CH2M who was one of the stars in the Dream Big Movie. Engineering Quotes:   Here are some of the questions I ask our guests on impacting the world through these special engineering projects: How did you decide to work on such a special project in a country so far from here? What has your experience been like working on this special project with Wine to Water? How has this project changed your outlook on life? How did you end up deciding to be a part of Dream Big? How did working on this movie make you feel when you started to get feedback from children? Here are some key points discussed on impacting the world through volunteer projects: Wine to Water is a non-profit firm that is based in Boone, North Carolina. In 2005, the founder Doc Hendley, who was a bartender at the time, started a fundraising while he was tending bar. This lead him to start the first Wine to Water fundraising effort. In 2007, after working two jobs and volunteering his time for three years, Doc officially launched Wine To Water. In 2009, Doc was named as a top ten CNN Hero for that year, and the ripples continued to grow. One of the missions of Wine to Water is too not just come in and fix the problem, but to teach the local people how to fix their own problems to create a more sustainable culture. Wine to Water is all about community and relationships which starts at the local chapters. Women in engineering sometimes battle to fit in because of the public perception that engineers are men, and this is one of the main stereotypes that we need to change as a community and in all engineering projects. This statement is a powerful statement from the Dream Big Film website, describing the movie: The project is so big, it is more than a movie—it’s part of a movement aimed at bringing engineering into the forefront of our culture. Dream Big is the first giant-screen film to answer the call of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) initiative, which aims to inspire kids of diverse backgrounds to become the innovators who will improve the lives of people across our entire planet as we head into the 21st Century and beyond. Since the release of the Dream Big Film in February 2017, more than 1 million people have seen the movie. ASCE has led the initiative and hopes that by the end of 2018 Dream Big will be available in every single public school.
