Chapter History and Goals

MSU-ASCE was founded in 1985 as the American Society of Civil Engineers Morgan State University Student Chapter and has fostered the professional and technical development of aspiring civil engineers within the institution for 96 years and counting. Today, MSU-ASCE strives to achieve the same goal: to foster young talented professionals and encourage excellence in their respective fields. In addition to this, MSU-ASCE aims to prepare our members for entry into a career in civil engineering.

For the 2022-2023 academic year, it is in MSU-ASCE’s interest to pursue the following goals: 

• Develop a long term and lasting relationship with our company sponsors. 
• Continue to strive for recognition from ASCE and excel in chapter activities. 
• Create close relationships between industry professionals, professors, and peers. 
• Recruit and actively engage new members. 
• Increase collaboration with professional organizations such as the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Maryland Rural Water Association (MRWA), the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE), the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA), the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE), Chi Epsilon Civil Engineering Honors Society (XE), Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honors Society (TBP), and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute student chapter (EERI). 
• Collaborate with other student chapters in the metropolitan region. 
• Introduce community service projects to encourage greater member involvement. 
• Provide our members with networking opportunities, workshops, seminars and other activities focused on career and professional development.
