Telling the story of the hands that built a nation

As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th Anniversary on July 4, 2026, the world will look at where we’ve been—and the innovation required to lead us forward.

ASCE has been selected to represent the infrastructure Sector in a landmark documentary series: America 250: Leading Through Innovation. 

ASCE will be one of only 25 organizations featured in this national spotlight. This documentary, slated for broadcast and digital distribution via CBS News, will showcase how civil engineers safeguard our communities and drive economic resilience.

• High-end storyboarding and filming of ASCE’s vision on a global stage.
• Strategic placement across CBS networks and major media outlets.
• ASCE retains full editorial control, creating a permanent asset for education, events, and advocacy for years to come.
