ASCE History and Heritage

"Civil engineers build the world's infrastructure. In doing so, they quietly shape the history of nations around the world. Most people can not imagine life without the many contributions of civil engineers to the public's health, safety and standard of living. Civil engineering's contributions to daily life, including transportation, clean water and power generation, are magnificent in scope and functionality.
Our present and future are built upon the triumphs and lessons of the past. Only by exploring civil engineering's influence in shaping the world we know today, can we creatively envision the progress of our tomorrows."

History at Arkansas State:

Founded in 1986, the ASU chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers is a thriving aspect of the civil engineering community. Our members' hard work, attention to detail, and countless hours spent working after class are a visible sign of the way ASU engineering students are striving for excellence.
