CMA recently hosted the UF STEPUP Engineering Group, a team of 52 first year engineering students who pulled up to the CMA office in a big Gator Bus! The day was filled with valuable industry insights, office tours, and even a visit to the Prospect Lakes Water Main Project. Plus, on July 31 our Principal Engineer Safiya Brea went to UF and spoke at the UF STEPUP Women in Engineering Luncheon where she shared her inspiring journey as a woman in engineering. It’s all part of our commitment to supporting the next generation of engineers.

Today, we celebrate our hardworking engineers who have dedicated themselves to designing, building, and innovating for a better tomorrow.
