The American Society of Civil Engineers’ Report Card on America’s Infrastructure
Civil engineering has been a part of human life since the beginning of human history, whether it be shelter, drinking water, the development of the wheel and sailing for transportation, or using the sun to heat and dry various food products. Founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment. Since 1998, the ASCE has issued a Report Card grading America’s Infrastructure. The 2021 Report Card was a public relations success. The overall infrastructure grade was a C-. Investment needs for the next 10 years total $5.94 trillion with a $2.59 trillion funding gap.
