Halfway around the world, Beijing was the scene as the first-ever International Symposium on Transportation and Development Innovative Best Practices, sponsored by ASCE's Transportation and Development Institute (T&DI), was held April 24 to 26. Making the trip was ASCE President David Mongan, who addressed the conference on global trends in transportation and opportunities in civil engineering at the plenary session.

International Activities
The International Department supports the ASCE International Activities Committee (IAC)--which considers policies and activities to advance the international interests of the Society--and the Region 10 Board of Governors, representing all sections and groups outside the U.S.
International and IAC help service the needs of ASCE’s domestic and international members; disseminate knowledge on engineering in the global environment; and collaborate with international groups, sections, and Agreement of Cooperation (AOC) societies to mutually develop relationships and share knowledge helpful to professional growth.
International supports the operations of international sections and groups in cooperation with the Geographic Services Department, and helps countries in need through capacity building, which includes collaboration with the ASCE Institutes and the Technical Activities Committee (TAC), and Continuing Education.
International fosters relationships with other organizations to further ASCE’s goals, such as the World Federation of Engineering Organizations, the Pan-American Federation of Engineering Associations (UPADI), USAID, and UNESCO, among others.
The Region 10 Board of Governors, with International, oversees the operations of 12 international sections and 19 international groups while providing its chair as a member on the ASCE Board of Direction.
