Engineering and Public Works Roadshow Takes its Message to Students

On June 10, 2025, students at Doherty Memorial High School had a front-row seat to the power of infrastructure innovation and community impact as the Engineering and Public Works Roadshow made its latest stop in Worcester.

At a time when America has a shortage of engineering and public works professionals, the team behind Doherty Memorial High School leads by example, creating one of the most energy efficient municipal buildings in Worcester and teaching students how a career in these fields improves the community.

Dawn Connelly of ACEC MA had a message directly for students: “You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. Engineering and public works careers are open to anyone who’s curious, motivated, and willing to learn. Whether you start exploring in college, take a different path through community or technical college, or discover your interest later in life, there are many entry points into this field.”
