Student Conferences, Symposia & Competitions

ASCE Student Symposia enhance our students’ undergraduate civil engineering experience.

Symposia take place in the spring and include competitions, professional and personal development opportunities, networking, and of course fun, as a celebration of civil engineering and the ASCE community.
Winners of select student symposia competitions will be invited to the ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championships.
