NJSME
Applications for the Certified Municipal Engineer (CME) Program are now being accepted. The program was created in 1987 by action of the New Jersey Society of Municipal Engineers (NJSME) with the creation of the New Jersey Municipal Engineering Institute (NJMEI)
and the appointment of the NJMEI Board of Governors, who are
charged with running the program.
The CME program consists of a series of 10 seminars and workshops devoted to the many areas of practice of municipal engineering. Instruction in the program is based on current engineering practices. The instructors, who volunteer their time, are drawn from the ranks of professionals who the NJMEI Board of Governors have recognized as expert in their particular specialty to present current, practical engineering information.
The deadline for applications is Friday, Sept. 1.

Shutdown. It's a word that's been floated repeatedly in recent days as Republican Gov. Chris Christie and Democratic leaders of the state Legislature have come to a dramatic stalemate over a deal that is threatening to hold up the state budget. Under the state constitution, Christie has until July 1 — which begins at midnight Friday — to sign a new budget. And if that doesn't happen, that could lead to a state government shutdown.
It's happened only one time before in Garden State history: an eight-day shutdown in 2006. And many state lawmakers say they say an agreement is possible over the next few days. But how would a shutdown affect you if it does happen? Here is a look at what may unfold, based on what took place 11 years ago.

For the first time in the 10 years, the state has denied Hasbrouck Heights funding to continue its streetscape down Boulevard. Phase 10, the final phase of the streetscape project, was expected to be paid through a New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) grant. Over the last nine years, Hasbrouck Heights has been awarded over a million dollars for nine phases to transform Boulevard with sidewalk improvements, benches, decorative paving and lights. The borough is working on phase 9, which includes the one-block stretch on the west side of LaSalle to Paterson avenues.

With only a few days left in the fiscal year, the Christie administration and lawmakers turned to an old and trusted standby to help plug the last remaining gap in the current state budget. Without debate, both the Assembly and Senate budget committees yesterday approved a bill (A-5000) tapping another $75 million — up $25 million from the amount announced last month — from the state Clean Energy Fund for a supplemental appropriation.

New Jersey could lose $600 million in federal transit funds if it doesn't meet a federal deadline for setting up a rail safety oversight program. The state is in the first stage of putting the program in place, according to a progress report released Monday by the Federal Transit Administration. Without a certified program, the state could no longer receive federal funding for transit.

The state Department of Transportation is working to get the word out about a $4.3 million bridge project that will enter accelerated construction in July. The bridge over Jones Road from Route 1 & 9 and Route 46 draws about 25,000 vehicles each way per weekend day, said Stephen Schapiro, DOT director of communications. Yet traffic would be even greater during the week due to the structure's proximity to the George Washington Bridge. That's why the bridge over Jones Road will see accelerated work on a new deck with the greatest traffic impact limited to two weekends in July.

Engineers can now analyze and simulate their designs, including OEM parts, directly using the OEM manufacturer's models and data. The recently announced collaboration between Rescale, a leading provider of cloud-based computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools, and UI LABS, an innovation accelerator that targets big engineering problems, incorporates designs and models provided by OEMs into user designs to provide an integrated model for analysis.

A subway train derailment in New York City that injured nearly three dozen people and sparked major delays is being blamed on human error, not a track defect. A preliminary investigation indicates the derailment just before 10 a.m. Tuesday in Harlem was caused by "an improperly secured piece of replacement rail that was stored on the tracks," Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman Joe Lhota and Interim Executive Director Ronnie Hakim said in a joint statement late Tuesday night.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration says it has decided not to enforce a tighter limit on beryllium exposure to workers in the construction industry while it takes public comments on "ancillary provisions" of the January 2017 regulation that set the exposure standards. The agency, explaining its decision to seek comments on provisions of the rule, said, "Representatives of the shipyards and construction industries, as well as members of Congress, raised concerns that they had not had a meaningful opportunity to comment on the application of the rule to their industries when the rule was developed in 2015-16."

North American enterprises big and small are increasingly concerned about adaptability and ease of use, as industrial automation and trends such as Industry 4.0 promise to change how manufacturing is done. The growing skills gap is doing nothing to assuage any fears, but it seems automation providers are. In the video above, Engineering.com's Jim Anderton reports on the latest initiatives from FANUC America Corporation, at the company’s recent annual open house event at the base of Mt. Fuji.
