Event Description

Economic Outlook for Structural Engineering: 2021 & Beyond

The pandemic has affected every aspect of our personal lives and altered the way we do business. As structural engineers, understanding how these changes influence the profession and the economy in which our firms operate is critical to such things as short term staffing and long term business planning. What will some of the markets we serve look like this summer and beyond? What does the future hold for the construction and building development markets? NCSEA has invited two experts to help make sense of the current and future economic indicators, and attempt to answer, “What are some of the most current economic predictions affecting structural engineers?”
