Symposium
The Pacific Northwest ASCE Student Symposium is one of many regional student symposia held annually as an opportunity for ASCE student chapters in their respective regions to showcase their skills and achievements by designing, building, and/or competing in various civil engineering activities.
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.
The Pacific Northwest region (PNW) comprises of 19 universities from Alaska, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
