Council of American Structural Engineers

CASE is a national association of structural engineering firms. It provides a forum for action to improve the quality of structural engineering through enhancement of business practices, decreased professional liability exposure and increased profitability.

 

Welcome!

What may be new to you is actually a 20-year-old organization dedicated to the professional and financial success of structural engineering firms nationwide. Born out of a professional liability insurance crisis, and formed within one of the most powerful and influential engineering organizations in the Nation, the Coalition of American Structural Engineers (CASE) is working to help you — and we need your help.

CASE is a gathering of over 200 firms nationwide that come together and work to craft guidelines and contracts that delineate what we are suppose to do, as well as a host of risk management tools aimed at showing us how to keep our liability under control and in check. Our mission is to make structural engineering firms successful by reducing claims, increasing profitability, improving quality, and enhancing management practices.

Please browse through these pages and find risk management tips, sound business practices, model contracts, risk management tools, learning opportunities both on line, in publications and at convocations, meetings and conventions.

Join CASE today and benefit from free access to materials of significant value and opportunities to get involved in advancing the practice and raising the bar on the quality of the profession. We are looking forward to working with you.

Write to me about your interests and concerns. I would love to hear from you.

Chairman, 2010-2013

Donate to the CASE Scholarship Fund!

CASE is offering an opportunity for you to encourage growth in the structural engineering profession and ensure that the highest caliber of students become the future of our industry. The CASE scholarship, administered by the ACEC College of Fellows, is awarded to a student seeking a Bachelor’s degree, at minimum, in an ABET-accredited engineering program. CASE strives to attract the best and brightest to the structural engineering profession and educational support is the best way we can ensure the future of our profession. Since 2009, the CASE Scholarship has helped engineering students make positive steps towards a bright future in structural engineering. The 2011 winner, Reid Lundin, will graduate in December of 2012 from Kansas State University with a combined bachelor’s/master’s engineering degree.

CASE is seeking contributions to help make this program a success. You monetary support is vital in helping CASE and ACEC increase scholarship to those students who are the future of our industry. You can make a tax-deductible contribution by filling out the donation form.
