Engineering students from Texas and Mexico met Thursday through Saturday at the Texas-Mexico Regional American Society of Civil Engineers Student Symposium and competed to see which engineering designs would withstand rigorous testing and come out on top.
Eva Schexnider, a sophomore civil engineering major from Houston, said the Texas Tech ASCE chapter has been preparing to host the symposium for a year and a half. Twenty universities from Texas and Mexico attended the symposium, Schexnider said, as well as Louisiana Tech because its competition was flooded out. . .
Texas A&M placed first in the steel bridge competition and Southern Methodist University took second.
