ASCE Society-Wide Competitions Rules & Regulations

Please take a moment to read the competition rules carefully.

Each competition provides a “Requests for Information (RFI)” period so that student teams can ask questions about the rules. See the rules document for where and when to send RFIs as well as how to access the responses.

ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition

The ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition provides students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on practical experience while testing their skills with concrete mix designs and project management challenges.

ASCE Sustainable Solutions Competition

This year’s competition is a simulated competitive grant application. Teams will emulate a municipality, transportation planning organization, special district, or other government public authority and propose real-life projects that they would like to see implemented using sustainable practices within their own communities. The fictional 2027 Sustainable Surface Mobility Grant program uses the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure’s Envision framework to serve as the basis to assess sustainability. See the rules document for how and when to send application questions as well as how to access the responses.

ASCE UESI Surveying Competition

The educational and professional goals of this competition 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 real-world problems encountered in industry. See the rules document for how and when to send RFIs as well as how to access the responses.

AISC/ASCE Student Steel Bridge Competition

The Student Steel Bridge Competition challenges students to an intercollegiate competition that supplements their education with a comprehensive, student-driven project experience from conception and design through fabrication, erection, and testing.

Timber-Strong Design Build Competition – Pilot

ASCE 3D Printing Competition – Pilot

The ASCE 3D Printing Competition: Bridging the Future promotes the application of 3D printing technology in the field of civil engineering. Students are challenged to design an aesthetically-pleasing, strong, and stiff 3D printed bridge that will take the least amount of assembly time and meets the geometric requirements. See the rules document for how and when to send RFIs as well as how to access the responses.

ASCE Construction Institute Student Symposium Competition – Pilot
