The American Society of Civil Engineers Student Chapter at UC Davis is a community of over 100 students with interests in civil engineering. Members are active in ASCE project teams and attend weekly meetings to learn more about issues and innovations in the industry. This chapter also seeks to connect students with professionals to prepare students for working in the industry. Most importantly, this chapter connects students with each other, providing lifelong friendships and retaining students in the field of civil engineering.

2014-2015 Achievements 1. Successfully hosted the

2015 ASCE Mid-Pacific Student Conference, introducing the new construction competition.

2. Raised chapter membership to over 100 student members.

3. Hosted professional workshops with ASCE Sacramento Branch and ASCE YMF.

2015-2016 Goals 1. Host more community

socials to build a stronger civil engineering student community at UC Davis.

The Construction Management Project is an annual competition with a design-bid-build structure. This project allows students within civil engineering to experience the complete process of planning, designing, and constructing a given project. Unlike other projects, the structure created through this project are permanent and provide lasting benefits to the hosting school.

2014-2015 Achievements 1. Successfully planned and

executed the first full-scale competition of this kind.

2. Won the first annual construction management competition at the 2015 ASCE Mid-Pacific Conference hosted at UC Davis.

3. Engaged in widespread interest in construction management as a career path as well as a project team at UC Davis.

2015-2016 Goals 1. Contribute to the 2nd

annual Construction Management Competition.

2. Recruit and educate more new members on the design-bid-build process.

3. Build and foster relationships with industry professionals.

The Concrete Canoe team participates in a multi-faceted competition steeped in tradition. Since the 1970s, students have taken up the challenge of designing and building a canoe made only of concrete and reinforcement, creating a professional grade design report, presenting and defending the design orally, and racing the canoe against competing schools. This all-around competition fosters collaboration across disciplines as well as practical application of engineering principles.

2014-2015 Achievements 1. Decreased overall

construction time by 50% through innovative process and planning.

2. By incorporating latex to our concrete mix, our canoe was lighter but more resilient than ever before.

3. Placed a top 3 finisher in the racing category.

2015-2016 Goals 1. Place top 3 in Overall

Product at the 2016 ASCE Mid-Pacific Student Conference.

2. Create an environmentally friendly reusable mold out of fiberglass and source more sustainable aggregates in our concrete mix.

3. Complete Pour Day before Winter Break.
