While many UCF students spent spring break at the beach, a group of more than 50 civil engineering<\/a> students participated in a regional event that brought much recognition to their work and to the university.<\/p>\n

More than 650 students from 19 universities, including the University of Florida, Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State University, attended the 2024 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Southeast Student Symposium. This annual conference, which was hosted on UCF\u2019s main campus this year, is designed to enhance the undergraduate experience for civil engineering students in the southeastern states and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

Knights took home a total of 12 awards across several competitions that highlight various aspects of the civil engineering profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning these awards is a testament to the hard work and dedication our members put beyond their classes and formal education,\u201d says Alexandra Roche, the president of the UCF ASCE student chapter. \u201cMany of our competition captains have been actively involved in our club and the symposium for all four years of their education. They have worked tirelessly this year and in past years to improve our symposium placement in individual competitions as well as the overall placement. These awards showcase the club\u2019s commitment, to enhance our members\u2019 education and professional development.\u201d<\/p>\n
