A team representing Louisiana Tech University made up of student members of the American Society of Civil Engineers presented their design for the Sustainable Solutions Competition at the Deep South Conference. This competition requires participants to create a design for a sustainably constructed park that could be built on a college campus.
They later received news that they won first place in the Sustainable Solutions Competition and would get the opportunity to move on to the national level. The students representing Louisiana Tech are Lori Hawkins, Mathew Alvarez, Charity Durr, Rose Emery, and Amanda Gordon.
Katya Opel, a Civil Engineering graduate student, acted as conference chair for Louisiana Tech’s ASCE chapter this year. Her job duties included submitting all necessary forms on time in order for the events to actually happen. She also handled submitting the paper work for the Sustainable Solutions team to see if they move on to the next level in the competition.
