Asce Uprm Student Chapter

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is the oldest national professional engineering society in the United States. Our student chapter at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM) counts with more than 200 members, making it one of the largest student chapters in the country, and the largest in our Civil Engineering and Surverying Department. The ASCE UPRM chapter prides itself on providing our student members with the best professional development activities available in order to prepare them for future professional success. Among these activities are the ASCE UPRM Companies Night, an annual job fair for our members to gain access to possible internship and job placement opportunities, as well as for it's ASCE Professional Boot Camp, which provides a month-long series of professional development seminars ranging from resume development to mock interviews. Our student chapter also offers many social impact opportunities as well within it's Service and Outreach committees, focused on community service projects and interaction with students still in middle and high school, respectively. Our student chapter is also known for it's participation in the ASCE Southeast Student Conference, in which the chapter has consistently placed in the top two positions in the overall rankings throughout the last decade, including placing in first place for the past three years (2018, 2019, 2020). In synthesis, ASCE UPRM looks to compliment our student member's educational development with a plethora of professional development opportunities and hands-on experiences in order for them to lead the way towards a prosperous future not only for the engineering scene in Puerto Rico, but around the world.
