ICON Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a CivicPlus is engaged in the business of developing, designing, and managing community engagement systems that use advanced technology to connect people with government. The company has submitted an application for economic development incentives to the Manhattan City
Commission on April 2012 to build a new five-story facility at the southwest corner of the intersection of 4th Street and Pierre Street.
This will be a minimum 50,000 square feet facility that will house high-end office space for CivicPlus, first floor retail/restaurant space, and potentially some residential loft apartment space. The senior project scope is to prepare a preliminary design of the site, utilities, and the building structure and foundations.

IMPORTANT:
Engineering Students interested in the FE Exam
Updates from College of Engineering:
1) Our FE website has been updated with the video from the Thermo review and the ppt from the Circuits review. http://www.engg.ksu.edu/current-students/fe-exam/
2) Please see the NCEES Examinee Guide ( http://ncees.org/exams/cbt/examinee-guide/ ) for information on the registration process and common questions. For example, when you register, you will need to wait until your status as an engineering student or as a graduate of an ABET EAC accredited degree program are verified. You will then receive notification that you can schedule your exam date and location - even if you will not be in KS you can take the exam in other locations. You will also have up to
12 months from your approval to schedule your exam.
3) If you graduate in December, please see #2 above - you can still register for and take the exam. If you wish to wait until you settle in your new location, I would still strongly encourage you to take the exam
ASAP.
