Girls in Civil (GIC) started in the Civil Engineering and Surveying Department at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez Campus. In December 2019, we made it official with our first meeting. And after that, we have been growing to reach more people on and off of our campus.

We know, we know… we’re late 😅, but kinda chic to join the trend anyway.

Here’s our Girls in Civil version, inspired by the field, the office, engineering school, career growth, and all the little things that come with figuring it out along the way.

We have PLENTY more where these came from, so… Part 2? 👀

✨ IT’S LIVE! ✨

Our conversation with Courtney Kelly is officially out! 🎙️

In “Building Dreams: Engineering the Next Generation,” Courtney shares her journey as an engineer and author, including the inspiration behind her books and her passion for creating stories that encourage the next generation to dream, explore, and see themselves in engineering. 📚👷🏽‍♀️
We talk about representation, the power of storytelling, and why inspiring young people today can help shape the engineers and leaders of tomorrow.
Because sometimes, inspiring the next generation starts with simply helping them see what’s possible. 💫

Surveyors are the foundation behind so much of what we do in civil engineering 📐🏗️ But how much do we really know about their role?

🎙️ Tune into our latest episode of Building Conversations with Girls in Civil to learn why surveying matters and how it all comes together!

We’ve been a little quieter online this summer, but definitely not offline. 🤭🧡

Between work, school, research, graduations, new roles, community events, weddings, and a few GIC things happening behind the scenes, this summer has been pretty full.

Girls in Civil is more than the posts you see on this page. Behind it is a team of women experiencing civil engineering at different stages and in different areas of the field, while also living very real lives outside of it. You usually see the resources, conversations, blogs, and random civil engineering things we share with this community, but you don’t always get to see the girls behind them.

So before summer wraps up, we wanted to share a little bit of what we’ve been up to. 👩‍💻

Now it’s your turn. What did this summer look like for you? Drop a little life, school, or career update in the comments, or tag us in a summer moment you’d want to share. 🫶

This one is for the urban planners of our GIC community (we see you 🫶🏽)

As part of our Continuing Education Series, we’re highlighting the AICP Certification—a professional credential for planners that can help demonstrate your expertise, experience, and commitment to the planning profession.

Whether you’re interested in urban planning, community development, or expanding your career beyond traditional civil engineering, the AICP can be another path to consider. 🌎🏙️

Stay tuned as we continue this series exploring different paths in engineering!

📝 Have you taken the AICP? Tell us your tips in the comments below.

Surveying is more than measuring land, it’s the foundation that helps turn engineering designs into reality. 📐🏗️

In our latest episode, we sit down with Dr. Evi De La Rosa Ricciardi to talk about the important connection between surveying and civil engineering, the value of collaboration and integrity, and the need to inspire the next generation of surveyors.

From her incredible academic journey to her work empowering women in surveying, Dr. De La Rosa Ricciardi reminds us that there is always room to learn, grow, and make an impact. ✨

A few weeks ago, we introduced Career Mapping in Civil Engineering. 🛣️

Now it’s time to take the next step: self-assessment.

Before choosing a career path, ask yourself:

✨ What kind of civil engineer am I, really?

The way you answer that question can help you discover opportunities that align with your interests, strengths, and goals.

Ask yourself:
📍 What type of work excites me?
📍 Where do I see myself working?
📍 What are my biggest strengths?
📍 What kind of impact do I want to make?

There isn’t one “right” path in civil engineering. The goal isn’t to have everything figured out today, it’s to better understand yourself so you can make more intentional career decisions. 🌱

Which question made you stop and think the most? We’d love to hear your answer in the comments. ⬇️

✨ Sometimes the biggest shift in your career starts with one thing: believing in yourself.

In this episode, Ruth shares what that mindset shift looked like for her and how it changed the way she showed up as a leader. 💭
