International Cyber Competition with Caucasus University, Spring 2023

To be announced is a cyber competition for students, jointly hosted with Caucasus University in Tbilisi, Georgia.

FDU Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers

The FDU American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Student Chapter has the mission of promoting professional development through community outreach, teamwork, social interaction, and professional interaction. The FDU Student Chapter of ASCE offers many activities to enhance the engineering education experience, including guest speakers, bi-weekly meetings, annual competitions, and social activities. We also have two competitive teams, the concrete canoe team and the steel bridge team. These teams provide excellent opportunities to apply the engineering concepts learned in the classroom to hands on projects. Our activities are designed to help our students explore and better understand civil engineering, provide networking opportunities with engineering professionals, and to have fun while attending school.

The MCAA Student Chapter Contest

As an attempt to both developing the Engineering and management skills of its students, FDU has since 2004 engaged in the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) Student Chapter Contest.

The Student Chapter contest, that takes place every year, is a challenge that provokes teams of engineering students to develop and submit a design and cost report for the mechanical construction of a fictitious building that the events organizers present. The teams are typically given a 3 month time frame in which the students are to divide the task of putting such a proposal together and thereby complete an efficient bid for the proposal. The teams are then judged in terms of cost, viability and attention to detail. The top four teams that emerge from the initial bid submission process are then invited to present their proposal at the MCAA annual convention, where the top three winners are selected.

Teams from FDU have successfully completed and submitted proposals for the past three years and another team is gearing up for this year’s competition.

In addition to this, the Mechanical Contractors Association of New Jersey (MCA-NJ) has been gracious enough to provide FDU with annual grants for the development of industry-centered Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) programs.
