What does the acronym ASCE stand for?

• A. Association for Structural Civil Engineers.
• B. American Society of Civil Engineers.
• C. American Society for Construction Engineers.
• D. Architects and Civil Engineers Society.

Answer: (B)

ASCE stands for American Society of Civil Engineers, the major U.S. professional organization for civil engineers. It’s the group known for advancing the practice of civil engineering, supporting education, and publishing widely used design standards and codes (for example, ASCE 7). The other options misstate the organization’s name by substituting words like "Association" or "Architects" or by using "Structural" or "Construction" instead of "Civil," so they don’t match the well-known entity behind the acronym.
