The ASCE student chapter at the University of California, Davis realized that student members interested in Environmental Engineering were left out of traditional Civil Engineering competitions, such as the Concrete Canoe and the Steel Bridge Competition. To challenge interested students, the UC Davis ASCE student chapter officers appointed an “Environmental Engineering Chair”, who organized environmentally related activities. After two years of brainstorming and planning, the ASCE student chapter at the University of California, Davis hosted the First Annual Environmental Engineering Competition, titled “Water Treatment from Your Kitchen.” Since then, the competition has been held annually, hosted each year by the school that won the competition during the previous year.
