章 had a very successful presence in the 2013 ASCE Deep South Regional Student
Conference held in Baton Rouge from March 21 through March 23, 2013. This conference features the annual 具体的独木舟 and steel bridge competitions, as well as other competitions related to civil engineering discipline. 12所大学，
Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas with about 350 civil engineering
students, practitioners, and faculty participated in this year’s conference. This is the third year in a row JSU has won several awards in the competition. The 具体的独木舟 team captured five awards in different categories including the third place overall in the competition.

The 具体的独木舟 is the most visible and challenging of the competitions held at the
年度深南会议. This is because of the fact that the use of concrete to
制作独木舟是不寻常的，也是具有挑战性的. The idea is to successfully construct an 18-22 ft long canoe with a structural mix that has a unit weight less than water and is able to float and carry 4 people safely. JSU独木舟队由14名学生组成. Mr. 塞缪尔·罗德 and 克里斯·赫伦 from the Civil and 环境工程 Dept masterminded the project as they secured 2nd place for their excellent presentation skills.

The canoe competition consists of four parts: a design paper, an oral presentation, the
overall aesthetics and a series of races to measure its performance on water. 的JSU

章. 通过努力工作, 准备和创造力, JSU’s civil engineering students were able to establish a high standard in this competition and look forward to further improve results in future. The 章 has already started working towards the next year’s competition and plan to possibly participate in the steel bridge portion of the competition, 以及再次参加混凝土独木舟比赛. 通过参加所有的项目, JSU will be eligible to proceed from the regional competition to the national level with a first place finish, giving the JSU Civil and 环境工程 Dept. 国家认可. 这要归功于奥巴马的领导能力. 塞缪尔·罗德, currently serving as a President and Donald Hendon, 担任秘书, for their leadership and hard work in fund raising and managing day to day activities of this very active student 章. “The third place overall as well as other awards are really important achievements by our students since this is only the fourth time for JSU to participate in the competition.博士说。. 法尔沙德·阿米尼教授 & 民政部主席 & 环境工程.
