Winning Writing Strategies for Students: SSBC Supplemental Competition and Beyond!

Let's fast-forward to the moment that you complete the design of an amazing bridge for the Student Steel Bridge Competition. You have sized all of the members, analyzed the different loading conditions, and finalized the construction sequence. Now you just have to put it all together into a report for the 2021 SSBC Supplemental Competition. How will you describe your final design? How will you turn your analysis into something the client -- or in this case, the judges -- can read and comprehend? Where do you even start?

Join us for a live event to get a jumpstart on your SSBC Supplemental Competition entry. Learn from three practicing structural engineers who have decades of experience putting together engineering reports like the one you'll be writing. Hear their perspectives on presenting information to clients, learn some of their best strategies for documentation, and gain insight into what real-world reports are actually like. Even if you are not participating in the Supplemental Competition, this webinar will equip you with tools and strategies that you can take with you far into your future.
