As a Chapter of PCI, Student Membership to either FPCA or PCI is completely FREE and grants you access to a myriad of member benefits, including student discount pricing on select texts (like the PCI Design Handbook!) and steep discounts on event registrations.
The FPCA Education Committee works with PCI Education Activities Council in supporting two distinct student competitions designed to expose students of architecture and engineering to real-world examples and uses of precast/prestressed concrete products. Each year, PCI conducts an Engineering Student Competition, known as The Big Beam Competition, and an Architecture student competition. Each student team works with its professor advisor and, in many cases, an FPCA precast/prestressed concrete producer member.
