ASCE High School Conference
Welcome to the Civil Engineering High School Competition!
The student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers at the University of
South Alabama (USA-ASCE) is hosting a High School Civil Engineering Competition (2025 date - TBD). The purpose of the event is to provide regional High School students the opportunity
to obtain knowledge and hands-on experience with the Civil Engineering design process.
The competition will include four events judged on, creativity, problem solving,
design, construction, and performance of various Civil Engineering problems. There
will also be opportunities for the students to hear from Civil Engineering faculty
about our engineering program and ask questions.
To provide the best learning opportunity for your students, a representative from
USA-ASCE will be assigned to assist your students, throughout the preparation time,
as needed without encroaching on your students’ creativity. We will also provide instructional
material such as videos and presentations, as requested. USA-ASCE will be available
to assist in any other ways, however, we want to ensure that the HS students lead
and develop their own projects.
USA-ASCE hopes to develop your students’ critical thinking, creativity, and engineering
skills through this competition. We also hope to spark interest in the civil engineering
discipline. If you are interested in a student team participating, please contact
Dr. Eric Steward at esteward@southalabama.edu. USA-ASCE looks forward to working with you and your students in the near future."
