The ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championships are the society wide championships for the Concrete Canoe, Sustainable Solutions and UESI Surveying competitions. Thousands of ASCE students from universities across the world compete in regional symposiums in each competition in order to qualify for the championships. Regional competition winners are granted invitations to compete against each other to showcase their abilities and hard work to national panels of judges, and the society as a whole.

The Championships were originally conducted as the National Concrete Canoe Competition (NCCC). Concrete Canoe, ASCE’s flagship competition, began in the 1960s with intramural races. ASCE held its first NCCC in 1988 where 18 teams competed at Michigan State University. The NCCC would continue with this format for over three decades as in 2021 ASCE held its first Civil Engineering Student Championships at Louisiana Tech, introducing Sustainable Solutions and UESI Surveying to the championship series. With Cal Poly’s host effort in 2025, we hope to uphold the traditions of the past, and provide new memories to last a lifetime.

Over the championship weekend our host team will be providing competitors, supporters, community members and all guests with the opportunities to engage in, competition events, community service projects, local engineering projects, technical presentations, socials and a celebration of Civil Engineering!
