Last week, BYU hosted the national ASCE competition. The concrete canoe competition was only one of many of the incredible acitivies that took place in Provo!

BYU's Dr. Rollin Hotchkiss co-authored an article that was featured in ASCE's Civil Engineering magazine.

On March 7, 2024, Civil and Construction Engineering hosted the Safe Drinking Water Symposium to mark the golden anniversary of the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act. Passed in 1974, the act has been a pillar of water engineering, utility management, public health, and environmental law for 50 years.

Students gathered in a combined seminar to listen to the BYU Facilities group discuss the development of the new BYU Arts Building. Students learned about the design and pre-construction process from members of the BYU Physical Facilities team, (the project coordinators) and Big-D (the general contracting team).

Since the fall of 2022, Students and Faculty in the Civil and Construction Engineering (CCE) Sustainability Lab have been working with our counterparts in Public Health, Cell Biology, Nutrition, and Nursing to understand better the challenges of extremely low-income communities that suffer from near-constant exposure to hazardous air in the brick kiln factories of Nepal. In March of this year, the CCE team, supported in part by the Weidman Center, participated in a field study to better understand and measure potential driving factors and outcomes that individuals and families experience. In the months following, faculty and students from Kathmandu University’s Community Development program collaborated with the team to continue this investigation.
