SUMMARY:Breaking the Mold: How Conventional Financial Reporting Can Stunt Growth in Consulting Engineering
DESCRIPTION:August 14\, 2025 from 1:30-2:30 PM Eastern  \nTraditional financial reporting\, while essential for compliance and transparency\, can unintentionally limit growth and innovation in consulting engineering firms. This online class will explore how conventional financial metrics and organizational alignment often foster short-term thinking and fail to capture progress towards long term success of growth and improvement initiatives. By focusing solely on profits\, revenue\, and cost control\, firms risk missing opportunities for investment\, R&D\, and talent retention. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn to look at their existing financial reports in a different way\nExplore alternative strategies and reporting that align with the strategic demands of engineering firms\, promote sustainable growth\, and foster a culture of innovation\nIdentify ways to move beyond standard metrics and unlock your firm’s true potential\n\nPresenters: William Siegel and Kevin McMahon\, McMahon|Siegel Group

SUMMARY:DBE Next Steps: Overhead Schedules & Unallowable Costs
DESCRIPTION:July 29\, 2025 from 1:30-2:30 PM Eastern \nOverhead schedules (aka indirect rate calculations) show the indirect rates or costs applied to direct labor to develop contract pricing. DOTs and other government agencies frequently issue cost reimbursable contracts\, where negotiated and/or final billing rates are based on accurate indirect rates derived from reasonable\, allocable\, and allowable costs. This online class will delve into the standard AASHTO overhead schedule format and the foundation of cost allowability (aka unallowable costs). \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn the process of calculating overhead or indirect rates\nDefine direct labor\, fringe\, and general overhead costs\nIdentify common unallowable costs\n\nPresenter: Robert Jones\, Stambaugh Ness \n  \nInterested in attending the full series?

SUMMARY:Standard of Care in a Changing Climate: What Engineers Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:June 25\, 2025 | 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM ET \nAs climate impacts become more frequent and severe\, the engineering profession is confronting heightened expectations and risk—with increased legal scrutiny—to  accommodate reasonably foreseeable future and uncertain conditions into the design process for critical infrastructure. In response\, the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) has released new guidance outlining how to apply the Standard of Care to this new risk environment. \nThis session will provide a timely and practical overview of how climate change is reshaping professional responsibilities across disciplines. From design decisions to liability exposure\, and from client expectations to insurance considerations\, we’ll discuss how engineering leaders can navigate this transformation while maintaining a defensible and resilient practice. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nGain insight into climate trends and how they are driving shifts in project expectations and design standards\nUnderstand the implications of ACEC’s updated guidance on professional duty and legal exposure\nExplore how courts\, insurers\, and clients are responding to the risks of designing in a climate-impacted world\nLearn strategies for balancing resilience\, code compliance\, and contractual scope\nDiscuss practical approaches to managing uncertainty\, risk allocation\, and cost in today’s volatile environment\n\nSpeakers: \n\nJoe Barbagallo\, PE – President of Consulting\, Woodard & Curran\nYvonne Castillo – Director\, Victor Risk Advisory\nAndrew Ratzkin – General Counsel\, POWER Engineers\, Member of WSP\n\nEarn 1 PDH\nFREE for all MEP Coalition Members

SUMMARY:Progressive Design-Build: Practice\, Perception\, and Potential
DESCRIPTION:Join our research team and panel of industry veterans\, for a deep dive into groundbreaking research on Progressive Design-Build (PDB). The research examines this emerging delivery method in practice\, the perceptions surrounding PDB\, and its potential for industry participants to achieve successful outcomes on projects. Learn how PDB promotes early discussions about risk\, allowing teams to assign responsibilities transparently and collaboratively. \nBased on recent research from the ACEC Research Institute\, in partnership with The Charles Pankow Foundation and the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA)\, this session will uncover key findings from Phase I of the study and preview exciting directions for Phase II. \nYou’ll learn:\n• Why 79% of stakeholders report satisfaction with Progressive Design-Build—and what drives their positive experiences.\n• How specific key themes in PDB support risk resilience.\n• How PDB addresses specific challenges for design firms identified in the ACEC Research Institute’s 2022 Design Build State of the Practice study.\n• Actionable guidance to improve risk management and collaboration in complex design-build projects from Design-Builders\, Owners\, and Engineers.\n• How you can contribute to Phase II research through project case studies and collaboration. \nIf you’re a design-build professional seeking to better understand market trends\, risk allocation practices\, and how to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving delivery environment\, this webinar is for you. Be part of shaping the next chapter of Progressive Design-Build. \nPanelists:\nDr. Keith Molenaar\, Dean\, College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder\nJohn Donatelli\, President of Infrastructure Engineers\, Kiewit\nJoseph Gildner\, Deputy Executive Director\, Sound Transit\nEric Ostfeld\, President\, Design-Build\, Michael Baker\nModerated by: Kevin McMahon\, Senior Research Consultant\, ACEC Research Institute

SUMMARY:ASHRAE/ICC Standard 240P: Harmonization of Building Industry GHG Emissions
DESCRIPTION:April 30\, 2025\, 1:30 – 2:30 PM Eastern \nASHRAE and International Code Council (ICC) has laid out their proposed standard designed for stakeholders across the building industry\, governments\, and the finance and investment sectors. The standard provides a methodology for quantifying both embodied and operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with buildings and their sites\, while also establishing minimum documentation requirements for life cycle GHG emissions. \nJoin us on April 30\, for an informative online session where Beth Tomlinson\, Co-Vice Chair of ASHRAE/ICC Standard 240P will explore the proposed standard and its impact on the building industry. Learn how this standard will guide GHG emissions management\, with a special focus on mechanical\, electrical\, and plumbing (MEP) systems\, and how it can drive more sustainable practices within building design and operations. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nExplain the pivotal role of ASHRAE’s new standards in promoting energy-efficiency and decarbonization in the built environment\nExplore the latest updates in ASHRAE standards\, focusing on whole life carbon assessment and calculation of greenhouse gas emissions\nExplore the proposed standard’s structure of whole life greenhouse gas emissions accounting and reporting\n\n  \nPresenter: Beth Tomlinson\, Co-Vice Chair of ASHRAE/ICC Standard 240P \nAbout the Presenter \nBeth Tomlinson leads Stantec’s North American Carbon Impact Team\, a cross-disciplinary group of specialists that applies building science and design solutions to rapidly reduce the generation of carbon emissions in the built environment\, increase resilience against climate risks\, and have a positive impact on the socio-ecological health of our communities. Beth Tomlinson has over 20 years of experience in holistic sustainability research and building design\, resiliency services\, commissioning\, and energy auditing. She is focused on integrating climate change mitigation and adaptation\, environmental justice\, and wellbeing within a wide variety of project types \n  \nFREE for all CAMEE Members!
