AISC’s “Steel Profiles” podcast series returns after a year hiatus and provides audio access to valuable insights from leading steel design and construction professionals.

“I am very excited that the Steel Profiles podcast series is coming back from hiatus!” said Margaret Matthew, Steel Profiles host and AISC senior engineer. “I have many more fascinating people that I’m looking forward to interviewing. The podcast episodes are great listening and offer insight into the lives of these giants in our industry.”
At your convenience you can listen to these interviews with your favorite steel experts and learn interesting and useful tidbits that you likely won’t hear anywhere else. For example, in his interview Disque shares personal experiences from his service in the U.S. Navy during World War II and what led him into civil engineering; his two-decade tenure as AISC’s chief engineer and what prompted him to launch AISC’s lecture series in steel design; his transition to teaching at the University of Maine before returning to AISC until his retirement; and his one piece of advice for structural engineers starting out in the field.
