This past March, 122 members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) at UCLA came together to compete at the annual Pacific Southwest Symposium (PSWS), hosted by CSULA. Competing against 13 schools and more than 1,000 attendees, UCLA earned an impressive 3rd place overall finish. The Bruins also celebrated an outstanding showing across individual competitions, with three UCLA projects earning 1st place and one project advancing to the national competition. These accomplishments reflect the dedication, collaboration, and hard work of our students throughout the year.

 

From ASCE:

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our officers, project teams, members, and the UCLA Civil & Environmental Engineering Department for their invaluable contributions to this year’s success. We are proud of what our ASCE community accomplished and look forward to building on this momentum in the years ahead!

 

Congratulations to ASCE on this outstanding achievement. We are proud to celebrate the dedication and accomplishments of our students and look forward to seeing what they achieve next!
