And, like the Concrete Canoe, you don't need to know anything about steel or timber to be a valuable team member. Several times a semester, ASCE sponsors field trips to CEE related sites. Some of the places visited recently include the Golden Gate Bridge, a concrete wet batch plant, Los Vaqueros Dam, the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Caldecott Tunnel, BART Central Control, Oakland and San Francisco City Halls, and the Richmond Field Station. These trips are generally free and carpools are arranged for transportation. In addition to visiting CEE places of interest, ASCE often takes biking, hiking, and camping trips just for the fun of it.
Most students take it while they are still in school.
To help Cal students succeed on the exam, ASCE sponsors EIT review sessions. Six sessions are normally held, each one dealing with one of the sections on the exam. ASCE cons professors or GSIs that know a lot about the subjects into lecturing on the material for one to two hours. Question and answer sessions usually follow, along with a problem solving session. The service is free to all students.
