Concrete, steel and fortitude: S&T hosts ASCE conference
Students from 15 colleges and universities across the Midwest descended upon Rolla on April 21-23 for the American Society of Civil Engineers’ annual student conference. As the conference host for the first time in more than a decade, S&T took advantage of a “home court advantage” to shine with a second-place finish for the Steel Bridge Team and a seventh-place finish for the Concrete Canoe Team.
