You might associate civil engineering with life here on the ground – construction projects for buildings and bridges, optimizing public transit systems and managing water supply systems.
However, after four years working in construction management in New York City, Alex Gasca (M.S. ’22) – an infrastructure engineer at Relativity Space – started to wonder. He had earned a degree in civil engineering from Tufts University, but had his sights set on the aerospace industry. Somehow, he needed to make the leap from here to there, from earth to sky.
That’s when he discovered the master’s program in Emerging Technologies in Construction (EmTech) offered by USC’s Sonny Astani Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering.
