What is the Southeastern Regional Conference? Civil Engineering students from over 20 Southeast Region universities will attend the three day conference. These students will participate in engineering-style competitions, each representing a civil engineering sub-discipline. The conference will feature two headline events: the “Steel Bridge Competition”, in which scale model steel bridges are assembled and load-tested, and the “Concrete Canoe Competition”, in which canoes are fabricated from high-performance concrete materials and raced in a nearby lake. The conference will also include competitions in such areas as surveying, geotechnical engineering, plan reading, and transportation engineering.  In addition to satisfying the rigorous coursework requirements of a civil engineering degree, some students choose to participate in ASCE student
chapters of their respective universities. Membership in an ASCE student chapter provides for a stimulating social environment which facilitates
academic and professional success. In preparation for the annual conference, ASCE student members apply academic principles to engineering problems.
This interface fosters an understanding of the interdependence of academia and practice, and helps shape a well-balanced engineer who will someday
prove invaluable to an employer and/or client.Where is conference this year? The 2009 - 2010 ASCE Southeastern Regional Conference is being hosted by the Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. Conference is schedule to be from March 18,2009 to March 20, 2010. The USF student chapter will be making arrangements for the USF BULLS to be attending and competing at the conference. We will be traveling more than 500 miles to Auburn to compete with all the other major universities. The Steel Bridge Competition will be held at: The Concrete Canoe Competition will be held at:
All ASCE student chapter members must fulfill the following requirements in order to attend conference:
