The ASCE Frontier Student Symposium is one of twenty-one ASCE 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ASCE student 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ASCE Frontier Region includes 35 universities from New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Mexico. In 2026, the ASCE Frontier Student Symposium will be co-hosted by Texas A&M Corpus Christi and Texas A&M Kingsville, with over 600 students expected to attend!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
