National Student Steel Bridge Competition

At the national level, AISC and the competition cosponsors assist with travel funds for those teams invited to compete. The first top team from each region receives $1,000. The second top team from each
region receives $500.

The 2009 National Student Steel Bridge Competition will be held on May 22nd and 23rd at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

More information will be posted when available.

Regional Student Steel Bridge Competitions

Regional competitions are held in conjunction with ASCE regional conferences. Winners and first runners-up from most regions are invited to compete at the national level. However, invitations are extended only to the winner from a region with two, three or four participating universities, and to the top three teams from a region with eleven or more participating universities. A university may enter more than one bridge in regional competition but only the best one may qualify for national competition. Each university entering a steel bridge in any regional competition receives $175 from AISC. The host university receives $500 from AISC to assist with expenses incurred in organizing the Regional Student Steel Bridge Competition. In addition, AISC provides plaques for all the competitions.

For the listing of Regional Student Steel Bridge Competitions please check the ASCE website.
