The ASCE Intermountain Southwest 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. These symposia stand as a celebration of civil engineering and the ASCE community.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Intermountain Southwest region (ISWS) comprises of 14 universities from Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. This year, the 2026 ASCE Intermountain Southwest Student Symposium will be hosted at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, with nearly 400 students expected in attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
