BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Twenty-one Trine University civil engineering majors and three faculty took part in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Indiana-Kentucky Symposium, with three Trine teams earning awards in competitions.

The event took place April 13-15 at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The Trine team of Ryan Hoak, Warsaw, and Annalise O'Daniel, Indianapolis, placed first in the Mystery Design competition.

The contest, which is not revealed until competition starts, required competitors to use an excavator bucket to place an attached ball on increasingly more difficult targets.

The ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition allows students to test skills in concrete mix designs and project management by building and racing a canoe made out of concrete.

"Last year, Trine hosted the ASCE symposium, so this year it was great for the students to just compete without the stress of planning and managing the event," said TJ Murphy, faculty advisor for the Trine ASCE chapter. "The second-place finish in the concrete canoe competition was the highest finish for Trine in my 15 years as advisor. We are all proud of our students and how well they represent the Reiners Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering."
