International Business Case Competition
Where civil engineering meets business strategy.
Engineering ideas.
Business decisions.
The ASCE International Business Case Competition brings civil engineering and business strategy together in a single arena.
Instead of stopping at technical design, student teams are pushed to evaluate real engineering challenges — materials, technologies, or infrastructure problems — through the lens of market viability, cost, sustainability, risk, and stakeholder impact.
Success depends on sound assumptions, critical analysis, and the ability to turn a technical concept into a convincing, real-world business case.
Think beyond
the design.
Market Viability
Evaluate whether the proposed solution can succeed within a realistic market environment.
Cost
Consider financial feasibility, investment, operational costs, and economic value.
Sustainability

Risk & Impact
Assess risks, stakeholders, implementation challenges, and real-world impact.
