SEAMASS Young Members Group

The Young Members Group (YMG) supports recent structural engineering graduates with their transition between school and career, as well as local young Engineers in Training (EITs) and newly-licensed Professional Engineers (PEs) who currently practice structural engineering or are interested in learning more about the structural industry. 

SEAMASS YMG provides a platform for young engineers to exchange and share technical information, to network in a community environment, to enhance structural knowledge through design seminars and construction site-visits, and to develop leadership and management skills by being part of the YMG team. 

The YMG can provide mutual benefits for local firms as well as young engineers, so company leaders are asked to encourage their firms' young engineers to become actively involved.   If you know anyone who is working in another civil discipline but is still interested in the structural industry, please let them know about the Young Members Group.
