In the last three years Michigan Technological University has obtained a job placement for civil engineering that ranges from 85 to 100 percent. "Even with the recent economic rescission, we have had times when companies set up interviews and we have had no one even show up. They all already have great paying jobs lined up when they graduate," said Erica Denofre, head counselor for civil engineers at Michigan Tech.

The key to improving highways for the 21st century will be the use of new technology and the improving of existing technology. This means creating advanced or enhanced materials, improving inspection technology, design procedures, construction methods, operational practices, maintenance and rehabilitation technology, and management techniques. We must use technology that permits rapid repair and prompt reinstatement to service with minimal disruptions to safety and traffic flow. One recent technology that has started gaining popularity relates to pavement and waste products. This technology is the use of old computers and old tires. The process breaks up the old tires and old computers into small pieces which are then added with tar and other che
