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

ASCE was one of only 25 organizations featured in this national spotlight. This documentary showcased how civil engineers safeguard our communities and drive economic resilience.

Your support allowed for:

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

Watch the documentary and learn more about how civil engineers are shaping America's past and Future!
