About Us
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) student chapter at the University of Hawaii at Manoa is a proud organization geared towards promoting the civil engineering profession and providing a better understanding of the field outside of the classroom. From memorable socials and fundraisers to sharing triumphs in activities such as steel bridge and concrete canoe, the student chapter is ideal for meeting, as well as bonding with fellow aspiring civil engineers. Not only is the student chapter a prime source for developing new and lasting relationships, but it is also a gateway for expanding a student's network through frequent interactions with the ASCE Hawaii Section and the Young Member Forum (YMF). Inspirational speakers from an immense spectrum of engineering firms and companies also takes part in our general meetings to further educate and enlighten students about the civil engineering world.
The Pacific Southwest Conference (PSWC), held every spring, is an opportunity to display our hard work in competitions such as the concrete canoe and steel bridge competition. At the PSWC, the student chapter competes on a regional level in a variety of engineering–related events. These include the Concrete Canoe, Geotech, and Environmental Competitions. The upcoming PSWC will take place on April 1-4 at California State University, Fullerton.
Through ASCE anything is possible. The knowledge and experience gained are empowering. The friendships are everlasting. The opportunities are endless.
