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.
