10 Years of Civil Engineering Academy (+ New Year Gift for You!)

Civil Engineering Academy is turning 10 years old! 🎉 To celebrate it, we’re looking back at how it went from an idea after a huge frustration with the PE to helping thousands of civil engineers get licensed.

Today, Mark Oakeson jumps on the show again and shoots questions at Isaac to dig into the real story and current operations behind CEA.

From the early struggles and building prep materials on late nights and weekends…all the way to managing a growing team of practicing civil engineers to produce those materials and the single metric we use to judge whether we’re being successful in our mission.

If you’ve ever used any of our resources (free or paid), you’ve contributed big time to this huge milestone in our story. As a thank-you for that, we’re running a special promotion to celebrate our 10-year anniversary…but you're the one getting the gift. 😉

So, go give this episode a listen and celebrate 10 years of Civil Engineering Academy with us! 🎉
