The Engineer Who Fights for Communities
from 21st Century Engineer Hosted by Dennis Truax
In this episode, Dr. Dennis Truax speaks with BJ Elkins, P.E., a water and wastewater engineer recognized by NSPE as an Emerging Leader. BJ shares how a simple message — “you can use math to help people” — sparked a career focused on service. From working in rural Uganda to solving small-town Colorado water crises, BJ opens up about purpose, ethics, continuing education, and what it really means to protect the public through engineering. A powerful conversation for civil engineers, students, and anyone who believes infrastructure is about people, not pipes.
