WKU’s American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) student chapter placed third overall at the 2025 ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championship.
WKU was among 19 teams that competed at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California, on June 27-29, 2025.
This accomplishment was the fourth consecutive year WKU placed in the top five at the national competition.
“The hard work, creativity, and leadership of the ASCE student chapter and WKU Concrete Canoe team continue to bring national attention to WKU and serve as a model of excellence for student organizations across the country,” said Jason Wilson, Civil Engineering Instructor and faculty advisor for the WKU ASCE student chapter.
In canoe contests, WKU placed third in Technical Paper, Final Product, and Overall.
The theme for the canoe, named Sweet Crete, is chosen by the team members and selected to honor Duncan Hines.
“We picked Duncan Hines because he’s a Bowling Green native, a WKU alum, and someone who turned cake into a legacy,” Evan Brittenham, a senior from Bowling Green and captain of the concrete canoe team, said. “We’re honored to celebrate and share his story, especially as students walking the same campus he once did.”
