Introduction

Founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents more than 140,000 ‎members of the civil engineering profession worldwide and is America’s oldest national ‎engineering society.‎

ASCE provides essential value to their members and partners, advance civil engineering, and serve ‎the public good.‎

In carrying out that mission, ASCE Advances technology, Encourages lifelong learning, Promotes ‎professionalism and the profession, Develops civil engineer leaders and Advocates infrastructure ‎and environmental stewardship  .‎

An – Najah ASCE Student Group was launched on March 24, 2013, since then more than 200 ‎students joined the group after they realized the importance of becoming a part of ASCE and the ‎benefits students may derive as they pursue their careers.‎

Our student group aims to prepare the students to enter the civil engineering profession and the ‎society specifically in professional matters, professional contacts and networking and Leadership ‎development.‎

This group is supervised by Prof. Samir Abu Eishe the former Planning Minister of the Palestinian ‎National Authority who currently serves as full time full professor at the  Civil Engineering ‎Department at An – Najah National University. ‎

What does our student chapter do? ‎

  • Competitions: Our student chapter conducts some competitions so that the members can show their creativity.‎
  • Field Trips: Our chapter offers guided field trips to engineering projects, some of which are still under ‎construction and closed to outsiders. In addition, we may also visit major projects already in ‎operation and be escorted by practicing engineers who can explain the details of their work.‎
  • Community Service Projects: Our chapter also conducts charity activities encouraging our members to use their skills to help our ‎community.‎
  • Guest Speakers: Our chapter will invite practicing engineers in the field to discuss unique projects on which they are ‎working. It's a great way to learn more about putting civil engineering to practice, as well as ‎meeting and networking with professionals in your field.
  • Training courses: Our chapter will organise some courses that will improve the students’ skills.‎
