The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) is a learned society founded in 1887 to develop and maintain high standards of civil engineering practice in Canada and to enhance the public image of the civil engineering profession. Student Chapters offer undergraduate technical programs, often in conjunction with local CSCE Sections, and opportunities to meet with practicing Civil Engineers in the community.

The CSCE Memorial University Student Chapter (CSCE-MUN) was launched in 2011, gathering multiple cultures and disciplines. Our Chapter aims to bring civil engineering students together, and to connect them to the industries. The student membership entitles members to many benefits:

- Opportunities to market your skills and abilities among potential employers through participation in local CSCE section activities. Many members who have been involved with their school chapters and taken part in local section activities have found the connections they've made very valuable when searching for a job.

- Right to identify as a CSCE Student Member on professional correspondence (SMCSCE).

- Eligible to participate in Graduate Student Paper Competitions and undergraduate Capstone Competition.

- Eligible for the Donald Jamieson Fellowship, the CSCE Hydrotechnical Engineering Award, and the Dillon Consulting Scholarship.

- Discounts on registration costs for CSCE-sponsored specialty conferences and the annual conference, as well as national lecture tours, short courses, seminars and workshops dealing with topical technical issues. These events provide great opportunities to network with students and professionals from across the country.

- Discounts on CSCE merchandise, books and other technical publications, which present the state-of-the-art info in various civil engineering specialty areas.

- Opportunities to network and develop professionally by participating in the planning of activities for the practicing engineer and attending local CSCE activities.Discount (25%) on orders from the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) large library of technical publications. Visit the CSCE Technical Publicationswebsite to order.

- Discounted rates for membership in the Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS), the Canadian Society for Engineering Management (CSEM), the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME), and the American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE).

- Opportunities to interact with professors (Faculty Advisors) and professionals (Practitioner Advisors) outside of class, which will enrich your university experience.

- Opportunities to practice soft skills, sought by employers but not necessarily developed in school, by participating in the planning of activities for fellow students.

- A print subscription to Canada's only magazine devoted exclusively to civil engineering, “Canadian Civil Engineer”, published five times per year, including the opportunity to be published in magazine's “The Student Voice” column, which is dedicated to student activities and announcements.

At the local levels, many student activities are organized such as: competitions, site visits, field trips, conferences, etc. These local activities are opportunities for students to market their skills and abilities and to develop their career and remain competitive in an ever changing environment.
