Jenny Baker, senior lecturer in civil, construction and environmental engineering at Iowa State University, was recently named to Consulting-Specifying Engineer (CSE) magazine’s “40 under 40.” Baker will officially be recognized at a CSE awards ceremony in Chicago Sept. 29.

CSE’s “40 under 40” recognizes 40 industry professionals age 40 and younger who stand out in all aspects of their lives; but in particular, these individuals support the building industry within the engineering community.

“It is an honor to be recognized with some of the top young consulting engineers in the country,” Baker said. “Now that I work in an academic environment, I enjoy educating future members of the electrical building systems industry.”
