Stony Brook University formed their first Land Surveying team and competed in the ASCE 2024 Metropolitan Symposium. With their first entry into the Surveying competition, they  managed to achieve Overall 1st place in their debut year! We would like to commend our Surveying Team on their hard work and demonstrations of their skills in Civil 3D and standard field practices in surveying. Additionally, we would like to thank the judges that were able to organize and ensure that the events ran smoothly. Due to their achievement in the regional competition, the team will proudly be representing Stony Brook University at the 2024 Nationals Competition at Brigham Young University from June 20-22, 2024. We are planning on keeping the team going and hope to compete again next year!

As brand-new team at Stony Brook University debuted at the ASCE 2024 Metropolitan Symposium, the Construction Institute team earned Overall 2nd place in the competition! This competition challenges students to think critically and outside the box, work under a time crunch while also utilizing real world knowledge such as interpreting construction drawings and developing a construction schedule. Tasked with evaluating a theoretical engineering project in 90 minutes, the Construction Institute team had to put their skills and knowledge to the test in their presentation. We are hoping to continue this team and compete again in the upcoming years! 

It is with great pleasure that we announce that our organization has placed overall 3rd place in the Concrete Canoe Compititon. This year we raced our canoe at Lake Rokonkoma along competing schools. From mixing day to casting day, testing the physical concrete to preparing the poster presentation, the fruits of our students’ labor are clear to see! Our Concrete Canoe Project was a testament to the creativity, engineering expertise, and collaborative spirit of our members and captains, who worked tirelessly to design and construct a fully functional canoe made entirely out of concrete! 

We are thrilled to announce that our ASCE Student Chapter's Steel Bridge Team has been awarded Most Improved! This recognition was received at the latest ASCE Metropolitan Student Symposium, and we are incredibly proud of our team's achievement. This was the second year our chapter had a Steel Bridge Team, despite the challenges our team faced the SBU team demonstrated exceptional teamwork, innovation, and creativity in designing and constructing a steel bridge.  The Steel Bridge team managed to reduce their construction time from 4 hours to 40 minutes! This result was built upon a year of hard work, from designing, cutting, welding, and drilling the individual members to constructing the bridge during the competition.
