June Report
As Summer 2024 begins, students are preparing for their summer classes as well as their internships. Former ASCE officers have met with newly elected officers to train them for their new roles. Additionally, multiple meetings with ASCE faculty advisors have taken place to ensure a smooth transition into the 2024 to 2025 school year. At the beginning of the month, students had the opportunity to explore Finfrock as their company offered a site tour for UCF civil engineering students. Furthermore, the ASCE East Central 16th Annual Icebreaker took place at the Orlando Science Center! Students had the chance to interact and network with various professionals in the engineering and construction fields. The ASCE UCF Student Chapter had their booth at the Icebreaker where they informed professionals and students about the club.
