About Us
The American Society of Civil Engineers, better known as ASCE, was founded in 1852 and represents more than 123,000 civil engineers worldwide. ASCE is America's oldest national engineering society. ASCE advances professional knowledge and improves the practice of civil engineering through publications, conferences, leadership opportunities, and networking opportunities.
The OSU Student Chapter of ASCE organizes a wide range of activities including speaker meetings, field trips, career fairs, community service projects, and participates in competitive projects, such as the concrete canoe, steel bridge and timber bridge contests. These activities are excellent opportunities to gain experience and build relationships that cannot be found in the classroom. Activities are also meant to be fun and give students a break from typical schoolwork. Many opportunities are provided to begin to build networks with engineering professionals and explore career options in civil engineering.
