(JACKSON, Miss.) – For the second year in a row, the Jackson State University American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) student chapter won several awards at the 2012 ASCE Deep South Regional Student Conference held March 30 through April 1 at the University of Tennessee, Martin. The conference featured the annual concrete canoe competition and other competitions related to civil engineering. Eleven universities from Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas with about 300 civil engineering students and faculty participated.
This year, the JSU concrete canoe team captured four first-place or second-place awards, and the surveying competition team secured another first-place victory. The concrete canoe is the most visible and challenging in the competition. The goal is to successfully construct an 18- to 22-foot-long canoe with a structural mix that has a unit weight less than water and be able to float and carry four people safely. Charles McKenzie, a senior from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, served as the project manager for the 16-member team and received first place for his presentation skills.
By competing in all of the events, JSU will be eligible to proceed from the regional competition to the national level with a first-place finish.
