OLATHE, Kan. --- Terracon’s Dan Israel, P.E., executive vice president, has been inducted into the Missouri University of Science and Technology Academy of Civil Engineers. The academy aims to honor those alumni and civil engineering graduates who are outstanding in their field, leaders in community affairs and worthy of emulation.  

The Missouri University of Science and Technology Civil Engineering Department established the Academy of Civil Engineers in 1972. From a charter membership of 15, the academy has now inducted 252 members.

They are called upon by the department to motivate future civil engineering students by providing examples of outstanding civil engineering graduates, partnering in the education of Missouri University of Science and Technology students, and helping the Missouri University of Science and Technology achieve national prominence in civil engineering education.

Israel joined Terracon in 1989 and currently serves as a member of the Executive Management Committee and the Board of Directors, in addition to leading the Rocky Mountain Operating Group, which includes 15 offices in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota. He is also the leader of Terracon’s national transportation/infrastructure and energy sectors.

He is a member of the American Council of Engineering Companies, the Design Professional Coalition and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
