Civil Engineering Student Organizations

Below is a list of Student Organizations that Civil Engineering students find interesting.

North American Society of Trenchless Technology UTA Student Chapter

Trenchless technology covers any techniques, processes or procedures, including the equipment, machines and materials involved, which minimizes or eliminates the need for surface excavation or reduces environmental damage or reduces the associated costs for underground work. The objective of the NASTT- UTA Student Chapter is to advance the knowledge of Trenchless Technology and its applications among the student community of the University of Texas at Arlington.

UTA American Society of Civil Engineers

ASCE, the American Society of Civil Engineers is the oldest professional engineering organization in the world. This only seems right because civil engineering is the oldest form of engineering.

ITE Student Chapter at UTA

Established in 1930, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) is an international association of transportation professionals, with approximately 17,000 members acting in more than 92 countries. ITE acts as a gateway to knowledge and advancement through meetings, seminars and publications. Student members attend state and national meetings, where they get an opportunity to meet nationally known transportation professional and participate in poster and paper presentations.
