The Civil Engineering Podcast

Anthony Fasano launched The Civil Engineering Podcast back in 2015 alongside co-host Christian Knutson through the Engineering Management Institute, and it has grown into one of the most trusted resources in the civil engineering profession. Fasano is an ASCE Fellow with decades of hands-on experience, and that practical knowledge shapes every episode. The show focuses squarely on career development, project delivery, and leadership skills for civil engineers and AEC professionals. Guests include firm principals, project managers, transportation planners, and structural designers who share specific lessons from real projects and career transitions. The conversations cover topics like passing the PE exam, negotiating promotions, managing construction teams, business development for engineering firms, and client relationship skills that engineering school never taught. One notable sub-series is The Civil Engineering CEO, which features interviews with CEOs of leading civil engineering firms discussing talent shortages, hybrid work, and the future of infrastructure. The Engineering Management Institute has since expanded to include companion shows covering geotechnical, structural, and AEC technology topics, but this original podcast remains the flagship. Episodes run about 30 to 45 minutes and release regularly. The tone is professional but approachable, with Fasano drawing out practical advice that engineers can apply the same week. If you work in civil engineering or the broader AEC industry and want to move your career forward with intention, this show has built a library of hundreds of episodes worth exploring.
