Welcome to the Build+Revitalize podcast series Leaving a Legacy. Throughout the series, we will explore SME's past, present, and future. Through interviews with our CEO, veteran staff, and even some up and comers, we will share how our rich history has built a foundation that will carry SME through many more generations of success.We begin with a two part episode, featuring SME CEO Mark Kramer. From his vantage point as the son of Ken Kramer, one of the founders of the company, Mark discussed everything from his summer jobs at the company while a teenager to how he rose from project engineer to ultimately succeed his father's CEO position, in the early 2000s. We are excited to be joined throughout this series by guest host Randy Wilburn, an AEC industry legacy in his own right. Randy is best known for his podcasts Encourage, Build Grow, that helps design professionals become better leaders, and I Am Northwest Arkansas, which covers Business, Culture, Entrepreneurship, and Life in Benton and Washington County, Arkansas.
Are you trying to figure out if civil or environmental engineering is for you? The best way to do that is hands-on, real-life experience. Jon Camburn interviews SME Co-ops Aidan Funk (University of Toledo) and Enock Rwigenza (Indiana State University), who share their summer experiences with SME's Co-op program.
