Shadow a Structural Engineer 2025

Call for Volunteers

The Structural Engineers Association of New York (SEAoNY) is seeking our help for the annual "Shadow a Structural Engineer" Program for College Students. The purpose of the event is to show the students the day in the life as a practicing structural engineer. Students visit for roughly 3-4 hours, sometimes in small groups.  

We matched over 90 students last year, thanks to our volunteers! It works best if firms sign up and rotate the students through several stations.  If a few people per office volunteer, it might mean each person only needs to offer about an hour of their time.  If individuals sign up, recruit your coworkers or feel free to host a student for a couple of hours on your own. No prep necessary, we usually show the students our current projects and give them an opportunity to ask questions. Dates and times will be flexible and coordinated after each firm/volunteer is paired with students. Dates will be March to early April.
