ASCE At Tufts - A Strong Legacy Times have changed in the 129 years since the inception of the engineering program here at Tufts, but the level of scholarship and success of its students and graduates has remained firm. The ASCE Tufts Chapter has traditionally involved some of the Tufts' most dedicated engineers.
 1953: Mr. Eric Reeves, Chief Structural Engineer at Charles Maguire & Associates, lectures to ASCE members on the structural features of the then-new Boston elevated Central Artery.
  1974: Retirement ceremony for Prof. Earle F. Littleton 1962: ASCE yearly dues raised from $2 to $3. Mr. Flannagan lectures on the advantages of nuclear powers 1976: Physics 11 and ES-3 made mandatory for all engineers. Widespread grief ensues.   
 1990: Tufts' second concrete canoe  1992: The Tufts concrete canoe team travels to Delft, Holland to race its canoe on the Schie canal. 1993: Tufts competes in the ASCE concrete toboggan contest. Our "Boston Bullets" piloted their toboggan, "The Boston Bomber" to the finish. 1998: The Tufts Steel Bridge team competes in the National competition at California Polytech in Pamona. The team packed their bridge into ski bags for transport on the plane.  The 1995 Tufts Concrete Canoe Team with their canoe. The William P. Morse Scholarship This scholarship is awarded by Tufts ASCE and the BSCES to a Tufts senior civil engineer with a very strong record of academic achievement.
Were you a William P. Morse scholarship recipient at Tufts during one of the years not listed above? Let us know! 
 2001: The ASCE Tufts Chapter is as active as ever, and continues to foster a community of highly motivated and enthusiastic engineers. ASCE-sponsored activities and events at Tufts include the Steel Bridge and Concrete Canoe teams, local community service, the annual Kid's Day booth, guest speakers, and field trips, the annual Spring Barbecue, Trivia Nights, the revered student-faculty softball game, and more.

  1976: ASCE student-faculty get-together    1976: ASCE sponsors a field trip to Boston's in-progress 60 State St. building. Students "were amazed at the balance and skill displayed by the workers at such heights." 1977: ASCE gets its first University funding: $260 per year 1978: Tufts' first concrete canoe is raced at the University of Maine. Unfortunately, it did not finish 1991: Tufts hosts the ASCE New England Regional Conference  1989: Tufts enters the ASCE Concrete Canoe competition for its first time.

Make a Donation
There are currently over 90 members in the Tufts
chapter of ASCE, and most importantly, this year
we increased our active membership. For
example, the Steel Bridge team, which previously
consisted of 6 members, expanded to 15 active
and 5 part time participants this year. With
the increased enthusiasm in ASCE we have planned
many new and exciting events for the year
ahead. We are planning a community service
event to build concrete handicap ramps at nearby
schools and we are planning our first
environmental project. As usual, the Concrete
Canoe team and Steel Bridge Team will be
competing in their respective events, and we
will be having our annual barbeque/softball
game. However, your support is needed to help
us to continue to expand and improve our
programs. We would greatly appreciate any
assistance in the form of a donation from you or
your organization to help us have another
successful year. If you would like to donate,
please print and fill out the form linked below
and mail it to the address listed.
