ASCE Student Chapter
In early April, the ASCE Student Chapter participated in the 2008 ASCE Deep South Student Conference hosted by Louisiana State University. The students entered five events--concrete canoe, steel bridge, concrete frisbee, mystery event, and professional paper--and took 1st place in the concrete frisbee competition and 2nd place in the mystery event. The 20 students who participated (and their faculty advisor, Dr. Roger Meier) had a lot of fun and returned to Memphis ready to start on next year's canoe and bridge designs. Several students will be working this summer on concrete mix designs and hull designs for the canoe. Other students will be trying to raise money and solicit in-kind contributions from local engineers for next year's canoe and bridge. If you would like to donate money or materials to the effort, please contact Dr. Roger Meier at 901-678-3284.
