Welcome

The Iowa Section is a local chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

We have technical committees for the following five disciplines:

  • Environmental and Water Resources
  • Geotechnical
  • Highways and Transportation
  • Structural
  • Surveying and Mapping

Each technical committee conducts an annual conference for ASCE members in a state that has required continuing education for license renewal since 1980.

The Iowa Section includes Younger Member Groups in the Ames-Des Moines and Cedar Rapids-Iowa City areas and Student Chapters at Iowa State University and The University of Iowa.

If you would like to join or renew your ASCE membership, click here.

Environmental and Water Resources Conference

Registration is now available for the annual Environmental and Water Resources Conference.    The conference will be held in Ames on March 25, 2010.

Governor's Plan to Divert RUTF to Iowa State Patrol

There has been much discussion about the Governor’s plan to divert Road Use Tax (RUT) Funds from their intended purpose of building and repairing our roadways and into the Iowa State Patrol coffers.

The Iowa and Quad Cities Sections sent out a letter to the governor to demostrate our opposition to this diversion of funds. Click below to view the letter of opposition and the governor’s response.
