Montgomery County, PA-- Bursich Associates, Inc., a full-service civil engineering and surveying firm based in Pottstown, PA, reached out to area public and parochial high school students during National Engineers Week. The firm's employees are committed to educating their fellow alumni on the engineering field in an effort to attract new talent to their industry.

In February, Bob Preston, managing engineer in Bursich's Southampton, Bucks County office, visited St. Pius X in Pottstown, PA, to educate local students about the civil engineering profession. A St. Pius graduate himself, Bob believes in a hands-on approach. He brought site plans and specifications because he felt that having something tangible would encourage the students to ask more questions. He knew that if he could get the students involved in looking at plans and discussing what takes place in an office and in the field, it would not only hold their attention, but would make it interesting and relevant as well.
