    Episode 140: Dimitrios Athanasiou, on the theoretical vs. the applied

    Dimitrios Athanasiou, Ph.D., E.I.T., A.M.ASCE, is a senior associate of environmental and earth sciences at Exponent in Bellevue, Washington; he has a Ph.D. from Texas Tech in civil engineering; and he’s the co-chair of the ASCE EWRI Seattle Chapter.
    But he began his education with a bachelor’s degree back home in Greece in physics.
    So he has an interesting perspective on any comparison between the theoretical and the applied.
    In episode 140 of ASCE Plot Points, Athanasiou talks with guest hosts Brianne Duncan and Wendy Cohen of the ASCE EWRI Environmental Health and Water Quality Committee.

THE podcast for Engineers!

So many good things to say about this Podcast! This podcast features a diverse group of people involved in the Civil Engineering field whether it be directly or indirectly. Topics covered in the past include stress management, the power of storytelling, and the scooter revolution. Through the smaller segments, you get to learn about why people chose the civil engineering profession or even how their passions outside of work help them to be a better leader and/or engineer! I love this podcast format because I can listen to while at work and I feel like I get to "meet" so many different civil engineers across the globe through listening. I recommend this podcast to anyone in the Engineering community.
