2025 Regional Competitions
There are two levels of the Student Steel Bridge Competition in North America: regional competitions and the national finals. The regional competitions are typically held at ASCE Student Symposia. Outstanding performance in regional competitions, and only participation in those competitions, qualifies eligible teams for the Student Steel Bridge Competition National Finals, which is organized by AISC in collaboration with ASCE.
More information about the 2025 regional competitions can be found below. Event registration will be coordinated directly by the regional competition host school.
As teams sign up for this year's competition, we will also update our map showing who plans to participate.
