Pacific Southwest Regional Conference is an annual civil engineering conference under the conduct of the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Students come from four states and 18 universities in southwest regions (13 schools from California State, one school from Nevada State, one school from Hawaii State and 3 schools from Arizona State) to complete and communicate their civil engineering knowledge skill what they learn from their schools and put into practice in the conference. It is an excited moment for every civil engineering student to involve and participate in ASCE conference.

In annual Pacific Southwest Regional Conference, there will be 18 events, including the Steel Bridge and Concrete Canoe, for a bid to Nationals as well as Conference Champion. In addition, conference annually will invite a lot of civil engineering experts to be the judges of Steel Bridge and Concrete Canoe completion. This year a job fair will also be included as an event. Pacific Southwest Regional Conference 2012 will be held by California State Polytechnic University, Pomona from March 22th to 24th. Civil engineering students from NAU will compete in all of the events offered which include:
