How to start an ASCE Student Chapter

Don't have a Student Chapter at your university? Why not start one?

    • An engineering or engineering technology program related to civil engineering and leading to an engineering or engineering technology degree;
    • At least 1 full-time faculty member who is an ASCE member and who agrees to serve as faculty advisor;
    • Endorsement of the application by your Civil Engineering department head or equivalent;
    • Endorsement of the application by official action of the ASCE Section or Branch in which your school is located;
    • Completion of one year of successful operation under the guidance of your ASCE Section or Branch;
    • An organized group of students with at least 12 undergraduate/graduate students (at least half-time) in an engineering or engineering technology program.
    1. Download and review the Guide to Establishing a ASCE Student Chapter.
    2. International schools: contact [email protected] to be sure you qualify before proceeding further.
    3. Schools in the US and Canada: contact your ASCE Section or Branch and request the assistance of two Practitioner Advisors.
    4. Work with your Advisors to develop a schedule of student-planned meetings and activities for the 12-month establishment period.
    5. Submit a Statement of Intent to Establish. Acceptance by the Committee on Student Members (CSM) of a Statement of Intent marks the beginning of the one-year establishment period before you may submit a Student Chapter Application.
    6. Hold regular and organized student-planned meetings and events for student officers and general members for a period of one year.
    7. Maintain records of the student-planned meetings and activities of the group. Activities that are part of the regular curriculum, or that were organized and led by a member of the faculty do NOT count as student-planned activities.
    8. Submit:
      1. Completed application
      2. Chapter data file
      3. Chapter activities file
      4. Annual dues payment (Contact [email protected] for details.)

    Deadlines

    • February 28 | For CSM spring meeting
    • June 30 | For CSM summer meeting
    • September 30 | For CSM fall meeting
    • As you plan your activities, it might be helpful to watch recordings of the Workshops for Student Chapters sessions.
    • International schools: download the Quick Guide for Students Outside the US (PDF).
    • Schools in the US or Canada: download the Quick Guide for Student Groups (PDF).
