Mission: To provide essential value to our members and partners, advance civil engineering, and serve the public good.
The Mississippi State University Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) works to provide our members with up-to-date information in the field of Civil Engineering. By hosting bi-weekly meetings with presentations from various private, public and government sector representatives, we provide a forum for open discussion on current events and how they pertain to the futures of the students. In addition to these meetings, we participate in community service in and around the Starkville community, social activities to enhance the sense of belonging of students within the Chapter in association with other student chapters, civil engineering-related field trips.
A large portion of our year is spent preparing for and attending the ASCE Gulf Coast Student Symposium. Each year, we visit another school in our region and participate in engineering-related competitions. Concrete canoe, steel bridge, surveying, sustainable solutions, timber-strong design build, construction institute, technical paper, and pre-stressed mini-beam are the most common events. These conferences also give us an opportunity to socialize and interact with other ASCE student chapters in the region. Often times, professional engineers attend these conferences, providing valuable networking prospects.
