MCC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
MCC is committed to encouraging people to pursue careers in concrete-related fields and to provide opportunities for those people to enhance their level of professionalism and industry engagement via scholarships. MCC’s Scholarship Committee and the Board of Directors are implemented changes to the scholarship program in 2017 that significantly increased the amount of scholarship funding MCC sponsors each year. MCC has its own scholarships for engineering students and construction management students. MCC continues to provide support to the concrete finisher and laborer apprenticeship programs, and is committed to supporting its members, professors and students via grants.
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE MEMBER-FUNDED
The MCC scholarship program is funded mainly from the profits earned at the annual golf outing and the Big Shoot sporting clays event. Donations from members and other are also welcome. Please contact MCC’s Administrator, Margaret Mills for additional information.
UPCOMING EVENTS

WEBINAR - Hot Weather Concrete
Learn more250 WEBINAR - Hot Weather Concrete 2021-06-17 08:00:00 2021-06-17 09:00:00 #f57921Hot weather conditions are not solely related to the air temperature when placing concrete. Those conditions are defined in ACI and ASTM documents. This presentation will focus on being able to define hot weather conditions and its effects on concrete in the plastic and hardened state. This presentation will also provide details on how to overcome the conditions of hot weather when placing concrete.
The presenter will be Ryan Scott (Technical Services Manager – Midwest Region, GCP Applied Technologies)

WEBINAR - Concrete Overlays of Existing Asphalt Surfaced Streets and Parking Lots
Learn more251 WEBINAR - Concrete Overlays of Existing Asphalt Surfaced Streets and Parking Lots 2021-07-14 10:00:00 2021-07-14 11:00:00 #f57921The performance life of asphalt surfaced parking lots can be extended by placing a bonded concrete layer on top of the existing asphalt. This technique has been used for many years for highway, street, and parking lot pavements but still engineers and owners are unfamiliar with the process. This session will cover the publication entitled the Guide to Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots and demonstrate the steps necessary to properly design and construct a concrete overlay.
The presenters will be Jon Hansen (Senior Vice President, Local Paving, NRMCA) and Phil Kresge (Senior Vice President, Local Paving, NRMCA).

WEBINAR - Non-Destructive Testing – Advanced Technology and a Practical Review of How to Use It
Learn more252 WEBINAR - Non-Destructive Testing – Advanced Technology and a Practical Review of How to Use It 2021-07-22 09:00:00 2021-07-22 10:00:00 #f57921As computing power become faster and smaller it leads to advances in non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for structural concrete condition assessment. We will explore some of the newest techniques in the market and discuss how they can be use on structures and construction projects. We will also review a practical approach to finding construction flaws such as honeycomb, void and cracking in new structures as well as scanning to map out corrosion damage in aging structures using many different Non-Destructive Testing techniques.
The presenter will be Larry D. Olson, P.E. (President and Chief Engineer, Olson Engineering, Inc., and Olson Instruments, Inc.)

WEBINAR - Non-Destructive Testing for Assessment of Concrete Structures
Learn more253 WEBINAR - Non-Destructive Testing for Assessment of Concrete Structures 2021-07-22 10:30:00 2021-07-22 11:30:00 #f57921We live in a constructed world and our lives and livelihoods are inextricably linked to the proper function of our infrastructure and machinery. For this to be safely possible, we must have confidence in the technologies we rely on. Nondestructive testing provides that confidence. To make smart choices, it’s important to have a sound understanding of the purpose, applications, requirements, and different methods of nondestructive testing. This presentation is intended to serve as an overview of various nondestructive testing applications as they are used in the field.
The presenter will be Alf Gardiner, PE (Concrete Technical Leader & Principal Engineer, Braun Intertec)
