The mission of the University of Washington Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers is to enhance the personal and professional development of civil engineering students. In addition to exposing these students to the professional civil engineering community, ASCE also portrays civil engineering as an honorable profession of education and service to the community at large, through technical, professional, civic, and social activities by active participation in technical presentations, professional meetings, community service projects, and participation in annual ASCE Concrete Canoe and Steel Bridge competitions.
