番茄社区

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) Student Chapter at the 番茄社区 was established in 2015. The objective of our chapter is to promote students' interest in the study of concrete and raise awareness of ACI and ACI chapters. Our chapter strives to provide our members with the opportunity to participate in competitions, tours, technical talks, and social events. We are now looking for enthusiastic students who want to join us as executive members and help run the club.”

The UVIC CIVE Club, in association with the CSCE Uvic Chapter, is a student club for members within or interested in the Civil Engineering Department at the 番茄社区. Originally created through the Canadian Society for Civil Engineers under the guidance of Dr. Rishi Gupta, the group has expanded to become a broader student club within the department. The CSCE is a not-for-profit learned society created to develop and maintain high standards of civil engineering practice in Canada and to enhance the public image of the civil engineering profession. CIVE Club hosts a number of great industry events, including site visits, employer information talks, and networking events. The club also promotes and is involved with CSCE events on a local and national level, and will be attending the CSCE 2022 Annual Conference this May in Whistler, BC.

The first Civil Engineering student team, UVic Concrete Canoe Club was formed in late 2015 and competed for the first time in 2016 at the CSCE Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition (CNCCC), an annual competition that involves the design, construction and racing of a concrete canoe. The team participated in the 2019 CNCCC competition, the online CNCCC in 2021, and intends to participate in the ASCE PNW Concrete Canoe Competition in late April 2022, held in Vancouver by UBC.

"The UVIC Seismic Design Team designs, models, tests and builds a 20-storey, 5 ft tall balsa wood structure that is subjected to earthquake ground motions at the international EERI (Earthquake Engineering Research Institute) Seismic Design Competition every year. Our team offers a hands-on learning and networking experience for undergraduate students interested in structural, geotechnical, architectural and earthquake engineering. Our team is currently in the process of testing our prototype structure in preparation for the 2023 design competition in April in San Francisco, California!"
