We are the Young Member Group of the Minnesota Structural Engineers Association. Our goal
is to assist young engineers as they build their careers in the structural engineering profession;
by offering training, networking, and community outreach opportunities to our members. We are
geared towards young PEs, EITs, and structural engineering students who have interests in
the structural industry. Our goals are to:
■ Alleviate the steep and difficult learning curve for young structural engineers by providing seminars, workshops, and construction site visits.
■ Build a network among young professionals, both within the structural engineering industry and among other design and construction trades.
■ Provide opportunities to develop leadership and management skills by being a part of the YMG Committee.
Members will be exposed to in-depth structural methodologies, latest technologies and applications, and presentations on lessons learned from past or ongoing projects. We aim to shape our members into more valuable structural engineers and to further educate them to advance their career.
We invite all structural EITs and PEs (0 to 5 years of practice) to join and to become actively involved in this group.
