Established to maintain and promote the status of civil engineering as an ideal profession; recognize the characteristics of the individual civil engineer deemed to be fundamental to the successful pursuit of an engineering career.


Concrete Canoe

Concrete Canoe

This organization utilizes engineering skills, problem solving, and teamwork to build a canoe out of concrete and compete against similar teams from other universities.

Each year, our goal is to win the regional competition and advance as a top competitor at the national level. This organization exists because there are engineering students, as well as non-engineering students, who are interested in working with and learning more about concrete, reinforcement and hull design. Our purpose is to challenge our student members to create innovative and thorough products. We hope our members will gain engineering experience, teamwork experience, concrete knowledge, confidence, and friendships.


Engineers Without Borders

Engineers Without Borders

Established to partner with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through implementation of environmentally, equitable, and economically sustainable engineering projects, while developing internationally responsible engineers and engineering students.

Steel Bridge Team

Steel Bridge Team

The team designs, fabricates,and constructs a scale-model bridge based on various sets of standards put forth by the American Institute of Steel Construction. The goal of the competition is to optimize weight, deflection, and construction speed while designing an aesthetically pleasing bridge and then competing at the regional and national levels.


Structural Engineering Institute

Structural Engineering Institute

The Structural Engineering Institute - Graduate Student Chapter at Michigan Technological University is a group of students with a passion for structural engineering. We strive to raise awareness among graduate and undergraduate students of career opportunities in structural engineering. Additionally, we seek to serve and promote the structural engineering profession through a variety of outreach events and continuous education. We are very excited to be the first Structural Engineering Institute Chapter in Michigan.


“ LiDAR was actually originally developed for autonomous vehicles, and surveyors kind of stole it.”National Society of Professional Surveyors students on geospatial imagery
“The conference empowered participants to believe in their abilities and reach out to achieve their full potential, even while being a minority in their field. I’m very grateful to have been able to attend and learn from the wise women present.”Lydia Minzey, first year environmental engineering major on SWE Professional Day
