What is the ASCE Mid-Pacific Student Symposium?

The ASCE Mid-Pacific Student Symposium is one of twenty-two 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.

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.

The ASCE Mid-Pacific Region includes 11 universities from Northern California. In 2025, the ASCE Mid-Pac Student Symposium will be co-hosted by UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University, with over 500 students expected to attend!

What is ASCE?

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is an engineering society devoted to advancing technologies, encouraging lifelong learning, promoting professionalism and the civil engineering profession, developing civil engineering leaders, and advocating infrastructure and environmental stewardship.

“The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 160,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society.

ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.” — asce.org
