As a college student doing civil engineering, what steps should I take to be involved in urban planning and landscape architecture with a focus on sustainability and equity Is there an intersect and demand for urban planners with a civil engineering background? Other than a Bachelor's in civil, would additional degrees in urban design or landscape architecture equip me better for my future?

I'm currently finishing my pre-requisites for a bachelors in civil engineering at my local university. I realized that I want to get more out of my curriculum that will help me get an urban planning or landscape architecture job. I would most likely be studying in a texas university or college.

How can Architecture be implemented into the environment in a way that keeps it healthy?

I believe that architects should find a way to build around nature instead of building through it, that way our environment remains healthy, but how can we strive to do so? How can we build cities without harming our ecosystems? Without relocating our animals?

What do you think separates people who are “good” at their job from those who are truly “great”? In addition, how do you balance ambition with contentment in the work setting?

#Spring25

These are two questions I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, ones that go beyond job titles or promotions and really dig into what kind of person you want to be in your work and life. I'd love to hear from people in all kinds of careers and walks of life.

What is the most important part of the undergraduate experience I don't mean what activities or research should we be a part of. Instead, what is something you gained or learned from college that has helped you shape or lead your life??

What are things you learned about yourself? Others?
Hard truths you had to accept?
