When the taxpayer won't pay to educate the regulator, who will?
Article Abstract:
The US public demands that the government controls civil engineering design. However, the US public disapproves of the government spending taxpayers' money on sending regulators to conferences which would update them on the technologies they are to regulate. The civil engineering industry must, therefore, choose how to educate the regulators so that innovative design can prosper. Education can occur during the final stages of the permit-seeking process when there is panic and side-taking, or it can occur in the more relaxed conference setting at the industry's expense.
