ASCE Wisconsin Section's Darrell Berry honored with 2019 Engineer of the Year by STEM Forward

The ASCE Wisconsin Section is proud to announce that longstanding ASCE member Darrell Berry of Mead & Hunt has been recognized as STEM Forward's 2019 Engineer of the Year. Darrell will be highlighted at the 67th Annual Engineers Week Banquet to take place Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at the Italian Community Center, located at 631 E. Chicago Street, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Darrell has been an active member of the ASCE Wisconsin Section for many years as a Fellow Member and a Life Member. He currently serves as Chairman of the Section’s Awards Committee, and has received the Section’s Distinguished Service Award and the Section’s Merit Award for Engineer in Consulting Practice.

Darrell has made significant contributions to the civil engineering profession throughout his professional career, and although semi-retired, he manages transportation and bridge design engineering projects for clients such as the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. He served as project manager for the award-winning Riverside Pump Station Storm Water Improvements project for the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Water Works Division. The project won the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Wisconsin Section’s 2017 Engineering Achievement Award. Additionally, his civic involvement is wide-reaching across the New Berlin community.
