What makes SCE so great?

Since 1980, we have provided the perfect balance of professional, academic, and social events for all civil engineering students at Cal Poly! We pride ourselves in our hands-on technical teams and Learn By Doing style.

Pacific Southwest
Symposium (PSWS)

At the annual conference, SCE, along with SENVE, compete against the other student chapters in our region. We compete in Concrete Canoe, Design-Build, Surveying, Transportation, and much more, giving our students opportunities for a hands-on engineering experience.

Mentorship Program

This program helps new members build a social network within SCE. Through the extensive pairing process and the many social events we host, we encourage students to communicate and bond with their peers.

Professional Development

We coordinate a variety of events for our members: through our career fair, networking sessions, firm tours, company days, and community service events, students have plenty of opportunities for professional development.
