Our Crowdfunding Groups
NAU ASCE
NAU ASCE is the student chapter of the professional organization American Society of Civil Engineers. We work closely with local engineering companies and other organizations to help build up our community. The NAU ASCE student chapter is supported by its officers, faculty advisor, NAU Civil Engineering department faculties, and the Northern Arizona Branch of ASCE Section.
Your #AxeofKindness supports NAU ASCE Capstone Teams
ASCE student chapter will be working with student groups to raise money for the annual Intermountain Southwest Symposium hosted by ASCE. This symposium is a regional competition leading up to the national competition run by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Our chapter will be working with students to gather competition members along with helping capstone teams who will be attending the competition. The senior Capstone team we are looking to raise money for this academic year is Concrete Canoe. This Capstone team will be attending ISWS and will compete with other universities. ASCE will help foster a mentee and collaboration donation page to help encourage students to see this event and have the opportunity to meet professionals. Please consider making a gift today to support our amazing ASCE Capstone team!
CONCRETE CANOE
The ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition is a capstone project comprised of Eileen Armendariz, Natalie Farkouh, Caleb Fukumoto, Trevor Hook, and Nicholas Whitlock. We will be gaining experience in concrete mix design, completing structural analysis, developing designs for the hull and body of the canoe, and most of all, making a canoe out of concrete that floats! The goal is to produce a concrete canoe design that will be made of sustainable materials while having a sleek design, and maneuverability that will hopefully take first place! Some of the different types of applicable skills gained from this project are concrete testing, Solidworks, and AutoCAD. Solidworks will be used to create and analyze the body of the canoe, and AutoCAD is applicable to the cross-sections and drawings. By incorporating the different analytical tools, we hope to pass our outcomes and knowledge to future canoe teams. This will be done through mentee days for Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen by providing the opportunity to have fun and build applicable skills.
Are you an engineering student? Consider Joining the NAU Chapter of ASCE. It is a great opportunity for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to be involved in the NAU ASCE student chapter, as participation through volunteering will help individuals learn fabricated skills in practice and accumulate some competition experiences. For junior and senior students, it is very necessary to join the NAU ASCE student chapter in order to put classroom knowledge into practice and lay a solid foundation for future work.

Curious. Passionate. Hardworking. Kind. You’re committed to NAU’s culture of care. Make a gift a this level, and you'll receive a limited-edition set of NAU Croc charms to show your Lumberjack pride.
As we enter the competition, we want to be able to foster creativity and allow students to learn about the design process. The canoe is an amazing opportunity to allow students to see how to mix concrete, design, and mold with the help of software and communication.
Commemorate NAU's remarkable 125-year history and uphold the enduring Lumberjack Legacy by making a gift of $125 to this extraordinary student-led initiative!
