To engage students in geotechnical engineering innovation and practice, the Geo-Institute of ASCE organizes 5 different student competitions during its annual conference. These competitions include:
- Geo-Wall Competition where students design and construct mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls
- Geo-Prediction competition where students predict behavior of the ground or geotechnical structure in-situ
- Geo-Poster competition where students share their research outcomes through poster presentations
- Geo-Video competition where students produce short video on any topic related to geotechnical education and practice
- Geo-Shirt competition where students design shirts that reflect the theme of the conference
The National Geo-Challenge 2023 Student Competitions will be organized on March 27, 2023, during Geo-Congress 2023 at Los Angeles, California.
The individual Geo-Challenge Competition Rules can be found linked below. Please encourage your students to participate in the student competitions. For any questions, please contact the directors of each competition.
