During the three day event, engineering students from more than 20 schools will engage in networking and competition activities.
All disciplines of the civil and environmental engineering profession will be demonstrated in the many competition events that will take place, including classics such as the concrete canoe races. There also will be new spirit competitions in transportation and water resources engineering.
“This has been a school tradition to build a team, prepare for the competitions, and compete to the best of their abilities,” says Diana Arboleda, senior lecturer in the CoE’s Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering. “ASCE student chapters work hard for almost a year, planning, analyzing, designing, modeling, building and testing various products for the competitions.”
ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society and the largest publisher of civil engineering content in the world. Eighteen ASCE student conferences take place throughout the United States each spring to increase student awareness and interest in civil engineering.
