Coasts, Oceans, Ports & Rivers Institute of ASCE
Created in 2000, the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute (COPRI) is a semi-autonomous institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the country’s oldest national engineering society.
COPRI’s services are designed to complement ASCE’s traditional civil engineering base and to attract non-engineering allied professionals who seek to enhance their professional and technical development.
