SANATOGA PA – Students at Wilson Senior High School in the Reading PA suburb of West Lawn, part of the Wilson School District, recently benefited from the professional expertise of two employees of Bursich Associates, the Sanatoga-based civil and environmental engineering, planning, and surveying firm.
Bursich’s Dane Moyer and Nick Duchan participated in the school’s Project Lead The Way, and described for students the aspects, schooling, and career paths of civil engineers and land surveyors, company Director of Business Development Brian Fraley said Thursday (April 8, 2010).
Their presentation regarding civil engineering and architecture “focused on what it takes to become a licensed surveyor and civil engineer as far as schooling, academic skills, and specialized training,” Fraley said. Both explained the importance of higher level math skills and proficiency with computer-aided drafting, and shared stories about their work. The session ended with an explanation of technology used in the professions, and a brief discussion of starting salaries.
With a staff of 40, Bursich serves local, county, state, and federal governments, as well as working with residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. Founded in 1972, Bursich’s headquarters are located at 2129 E. High St., Pottstown PA.
