LEXINGTON, KY. (June 2, 2026) — Eighteen students from Trine University’s chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) participated in the annual Indiana-Kentucky ASCE Student Symposium and brought home several awards.
The event, held April 9-11, was hosted by the University of Kentucky.
During the symposium, students get to display their work in teams for projects including planning, design and construction. They also gave technical presentations for several projects.
A Trine University team won first place in the Mystery Design competition. Annalise O’Daniel, a Trine University civil engineering major from Indianapolis, was honored as Best Speaker.
The entire Trine group earned second place in civil engineering trivia, and Trine teams took second in 3D printing, concrete cornhole and site development.
Trine’s concrete canoe team finished third.
“We all loved it! Great weather, venue and location,” said Tim Tyler, Ph.D., one of two Trine faculty who traveled with the students to the event. “Plus, the students performed so well.”
Next year’s event will be hosted by the University of Evansville.
