Clemson takes ASCE regional
 Clemson
made the most of its home field advantage as the American Society
of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) student chapter took top honors
at the 2004 Carolinas’ Conference this spring. The theme for
the 2004 conference was “Outside the Box.” Of major
interest were the steel bridge and concrete canoe competitions which
serve as qualifiers for national events held this summer.

During the
conference competition, Clemson’s steel bridge team
was disqualified, along with 3 others, because of a rule interpretation.
Upon appeal, the conference reversed the disqualification,
sending Clemson’s team to the nationals. |
While
Clemson won the overall conference, the steel bridge team was disqualified,
along with 3 others, because of a rule interpretation. Upon appeal,
the conference reversed the disqualification, allowing Clemson’s
steel bridge team to compete at the nationals. With their win at
Carolinas Conference (the 12th in a row), the concrete canoe team
has qualified to compete at the National Concrete Canoe Competition
to be held in Washington D.C.

North Carolina State University, Georgia Institute of Technology,
North Carolina A&T State University, University of North Carolina
at Charlotte, The Citadel, Duke University, Trident Technical College,
