The Process

Each year, the Alabama Section, ASCE Education Committee extends an invitation to each of the departments of Civil Engineering in the State of Alabama to nominate one civil engineering student who meets the requirements set forth below for the award. Invitations are extended to Civil Engineering Departments at Alabama A&M University, Auburn University, University of Alabama, University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Alabama at Huntsville, and University of South Alabama. The student must be enrolled in civil engineering in the academic year of nomination. He or she must also plan to enroll in civil engineering the following year as a senior (one who can be reasonably expected to complete the first civil engineering degree during the next academic year). The selection of the recipient will be based on the information given on the data sheet and any other attached materials by independent, out-of-state reviewers.
