The ASCE Chapter of NJIT is a proactive organization that provides Civil Engineering students with the opportunity to become active in the school and the community. Some of the things that we get involved with are intercollegiate competitions, community service, and various social activities. Furthermore the society helps to enrich the students’ knowledge of the professional environment through sp
eaker presentations, workshops or seminars, and field trips. There are many scholarships available for members to further enhance their educational experience.
-Intercollegiate competitions
ASCE Student Chapter/Club competitions provide a creative outlet from the demands of your classes and allow you to practice your technical skills on unique projects. Build, design and race in concrete canoes or construct a 20-foot long steel bridge and observe how well it withstands various loads. Participate in balsa wood building challenges.
-Scholarships/Fellowships
ASCE awards over $75,000 annually in student scholarships, fellowships and prizes. We have a range of scholarships available for freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students to apply for.
-Workshops and Leadership
ASCE Student Chapter/Club members, Faculty Advisors and Contact Members are invited to attend the annual Workshops for Student Chapter Leaders (WSCL). The WSCL events provide an excellent forum for networking and making contacts with hundreds of other students and civil engineering professionals from all parts of the country. In addition to providing renowned speakers, the workshops include brainstorming and goal setting sessions, group discussions and projects, career seminars, and meetings with ASCE National and local leaders.
-Field Trips
Many Chapters/Clubs sponsor guided field trips to significant engineering projects, some of which are under construction and closed to the public. Visits to major projects already in operation may be conducted by practicing engineers who share and explain the details of their work. Upcoming field trips include the MOLES trip in Manhattan,……………
-Community Service
One of the objectives of ASCE is the promotion of the civil engineering profession to enhance the welfare of humanity. ASCE Student Chapters/Clubs strive to organize public service projects where students apply their classroom skills to real life situations which will make a positive contribution to the community. Students participate in projects such as designing an emergency vehicle bridge spanning over 130 feet………………..
-Social Activities
Sporting events, parties, happy hours, study groups, and informal gatherings are also a part of ASCE.
