The ASCE Northeast 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.<\/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 Northeast Region includes 25 universities from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Quebec. In 2026, the ASCE Northeast Student Symposium will be hosted at Roger Williams University!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
