Since the early 1970s, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) student chapters have competed to be the best at designing, constructing, and racing concrete canoes. During that time, canoe mixtures and designs have varied, but the long-established tradition of teamwork, camaraderie, and spirited competition has been constant. Each year, teams, their associates, judges, and other participants build upon this tradition. This year, teams answered a call for Technical Proposals and Enhanced Focus Area Reports and are competing to be the winning bid on a prototype standardized canoe design for future concrete canoe competitions.\u00a0Learn more about the competition<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”4″][vc_single_image image=”126″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text]ASCE Sustainable Solutions Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ASCE Sustainable Solutions Competition challenges students to develop a stronger understanding of sustainability and learn to incorporate sustainable solutions into everyday problems that engineers incur. Students are encouraged to be creative in their solutions and use all resources available. Learn more about the competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2027 Topic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Announced on September 8, 2026 when the 2027 rules are released.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”128″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]ASCE UESI Surveying Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ASCE UESI Surveying Competition\u2019s educational and professional goals include a recognition of the importance of basic surveying principles to all civil engineering projects. Students will be required to use standard field and office equipment and procedures to solve common problems encountered in industry. A clear understanding of and ability to apply basic surveying principles will assist the graduate civil engineer in communicating and working with the surveying professionals on the job site and during the design process.\u00a0Learn more about the competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ASCE UESI Surveying Competition rules describe five tasks: a topographic mapping project with a presentation and four field tasks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”mulled_wine” style=”shadow” border_width=”10″][vc_custom_heading text=”2027 ASCE Civil Engineering Championships Competitions” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=””][vc_btn title=”2026 ASCE Society-wide Student Competition Rules” style=”custom” custom_background=”#512888″ custom_text=”#ffffff” align=”center” css=”” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.asce.org%2Fcommunities%2Fstudent-members%2Fconferences%2Frules|target:_blank”][vc_separator color=”mulled_wine” style=”shadow” border_width=”10″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”127″ […]","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-34","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nCompetitions -
