The American Society of Civil Engineers has recognized her as one of the 10 New Faces of Civil Engineering for 2019 \u2014 Professional Edition. Each year, the recognition goes to students and professionals whose early career accomplishments mark them as the profession\u2019s future stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMariah is one of the best students in the Civil Engineering program,\u201d said Engineering Professor Gustavo Maldonado, Ph.D., who along with Marcel Maghiar, Ph.D., and Celine Manoosingh, Ph.D., is one of Peart\u2019s advisers for her thesis. \u201cMore than three years ago, Mariah joined our Build Environment and Modeling laboratory as an undergraduate student and quickly learned the operation of all our laser scanning and measuring devices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peart\u2019s career in civil engineering was inspired by her parents\u2019 desire to design and build their own house in Brunswick, Georgia. Being a math person, Peart said when they studied home design books and blueprints, she liked to look at the measurements of how big a room was.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has worked on a variety of projects since becoming a master\u2019s student. Peart has used 3D laser scanning and close-range photogrammetry to assist Statesboro city engineers in redesigning intersections, resulting in better traffic flow and fewer accidents. She also created 3D models of historic barns near Statesboro that will serve as virtual preservation for the Bulloch County Historical Society to document the history of the local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy passion to serve the community assisted in attaining this recognition,\u201d Peart said. \u201cMy family is the reason why I have such a dedication to serve others through the skills I have learned over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduate Student Mariah Peart has achieved a first for Georgia Southern.
