Civil engineering students are asking…

To intern or not to intern? That is the question discussed in the newest issue of ASCE's Student eNews. ASCE President David Mongan, P.E., F.ASCE tackles this topic. Graduates can read about ways to jump-start their civil engineering careers. Read ASCE's student newsletter for the latest on career prospects, academic planning, and industry news.

National Societies' Scholarship Information

One aspect of professional engineering societies is to encourage young students to pursue undergraduate and graduate studies in engineering fields. Therefore, these national organizations offer scholarships and provide information about other national/regional scholarships for students pursuing degrees at US colleges and universities.
