Volume 127, Issue 4
Abstract
Community service projects are key components of successful ASCE student chapters or clubs. Community service projects allow chapter members to serve the community, develop leadership skills, interact with professional civil engineers, and hone their own engineering skills on real-world projects. This paper presents a proven plan for student chapters and clubs to develop and run successful community service projects.
