George Danna
Professor of Engineering
Profile
As a teenager growing up on a cattle
ranch In Nebraska, George Hanna had
the opportunity 10 work one summer
with a team of engineers who were
surveying portions of the state. "They
were looking for guys who were sturdy
and could pUll surveying tapes over
long distances, " reca/ls Hanna. "I was
so Impressed by these young men and
their intense interest in the project that I
decided to become an engineer. "
Hanna's decision marked the beginning
of a career that would take him to a
variety of settings, including countries
like Venezuela, Turkey, Lebanon,
Nigeria, and Afghanistan. In /959, he
became involved with education as the
director of Ohio State University's first
water resources center. "During the ten
years I was with Ohio State, I taught
civil engineering courses and developed
the center into an interdisciplinary type
of organization, " explains Hanna. "We
worked with biologists, chemists,
economists, and engineers in several
research projects dealing with
environmental Issues. "
After earning his Ph.D. In civil
engineering at the University of
Cincinnati, Hanna served as dean of the
School of Engineering at the University
of Nebraska for eight years. "Finally I
came to a point where I had solved the
problems that were solvable and felt
that I had been a dean long enough, "
he says. "I decided that I wanted to
spend my remaining academic years
teaching. When an opportunity opened
up at the CSU, Fresno School of
Engineering, I made contact and took It. "
Q: Are environmental issues a
major concern for today's
engineers?
A: Absolutely. In order to compete
now as an engineer, one must be
involved in environ"mental issues. You
can't construct anything today without
writing an environmental impact report
first. Engineers designing and building
dams, power plants, transmission lines,
airports, highways, utility systems, and
