About Us

Who are we?

We are a Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) at the University of Houston (UH). Hence, we call ourselves ASCE UH. Established in 1953, ASCE UH is one of the hundreds of ASCE Student Chapters in the United States and around the world, all actively supporting students’ growth as future civil engineers, and making a difference in the civil engineering professional community right now, while still in college. Being part of a student community is just one of the many ASCE member benefits you can enjoy as you plan your next moves on the path to graduation.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a welcoming environment that not only offers career opportunities and insight into the Civil Engineering profession, but also provide technical understanding through competitions, such as Concrete Canoe, and Concrete Bowling Ball. We provide a nurturing environment for aspiring civil engineers that encourages learning, community involvement, social and professional development, and teamwork.

 On average we host 4-6 general meetings every semester. At our general meetings, we bring speakers from all over Houston to talk on issues important to the civil engineering field. Our members have a greater understanding of their career interests and opportunities from the knowledge they receive at our chapter meetings from industry professionals.
