Join ASCE Today!
Welcome to The American Society of Civil Engineers Wisconsin Section
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. The Wisconsin Section of ASCE was originally organized as the Milwaukee Section. The Milwaukee Section started on March 20, 1923. Several meetings were held jointly with the Engineers and Scientists of Milwaukee (ESM) and in September 1926, a contract was signed affiliating the two groups. In April 1938, the Milwaukee Section changed its name to the Wisconsin Section. Over time, four branches have been established-Southwest in 1962, Fox River Valley in 1966, Northwest in 1974, and Southeast in 1977. The Wisconsin Branch currently consists of approximately 2000 members.

Congratulations to Outstanding Senior Civil Engineering Student Award Recipients - Amanda Kaiser and Luke Royal!
- Amanda Elizabeth Kaiser, University of Wisconsin–Platteville Amanda graduated in 2019 with an excellent GPA and a very active service record with her ASCE Chapter. She coordinated recurring volunteer efforts including highway clean-up events each semester and bi-yearly work at local homes under construction with Habitat for Humanity. Amanda begins graduate studies this year and is currently employed as a structural engineer with Computerized Structural Design in Milwaukee.
- Luke Royal, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Luke Royal has an impressive academic and service history, and received the following recommendation from his professor: “Based on my observations and almost multi-years’ experience of working with Luke, I can unreservedly nominate him for the ASCE award. His dedication and passion for research, engineering, challenges, and learning new materials and test methods would most certainly be an advantage for his success in accomplishing all of his academic and professional goals. Luke is the best candidate for the award.” – Konstantin Sobolev, PhD, FACI, AMC.
