There are plenty of ways to get involved with the ASCE student chapter at UMaine.  First-year students are encouraged to get involved early - as soon as you get here!
 
 
- Weekly lunchtime meetings featuring guest speakers, including engineering professionals and fellow students with work experience.  These are a great way to learn more about exciting and practical aspects of civil engineering, and the pizza is a plus!
Civils at the Spring picnic make a structurally sound pyramid.
- Team-oriented activities like Concrete Canoe and Steel Bridge.  UMaine has a great history when it comes to these activities, and team members have a great time planning, building, and competing.  Benefits to participation include hands-on experience, interaction with knowledgeable upperclassmen, opportunity to travel and meet students from other schools, and a good time!
The Steel Bridge team carries their bridge through Salt Lake City!
- Service projects on and around campus.  Members of the student chapter often volunteer their time and skills to the community.  ASCE has recently built wheelchair ramps, renovated The Chez, and refurbished a sculpture.
New tables were built for The Chez.
- CIE 1000.  This "class" is offered nearly every Friday night at one of the local establishments.  Students and faculty members get together at the end of the week for good food and entertainment, and great company!  Make sure you remember to fit it in to your schedule!
A bunch of civils hang out with Bananas the Bear at an ASCE BBQ tailgate party before a Maine vs. UNH hockey game.
