The China Civil Engineering Society (CCES), supported by the China Association of Science and Technology, has endorsed The Vision for Civil Engineering in 2025 , the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)-initiated vision for the future of the civil engineering profession, on behalf of its 46,000 members.

The ASCE-published report, The Vision for Civil Engineering in 2025, redefines what it will mean to be a civil engineer in the world of the future. It represents the collective wisdom of more than 60 experts from around the world and presents a vision for what the future can and should be. The more recent ASCE report Achieving the Vision for Civil Engineering in 2025: A Roadmap for the Profession represents the culmination of almost eight years of effort related to Vision 2025 and outlines what the profession must do to achieve these goals.

The endorsement ceremony was held on May 25th, 2010 in the building of the Chinese Ministry of Construction in Beijing. For more information on Vision 2025, please visit the “Issues and Advocacy” section on www.asce.org
