Competition Mission:
The mission within the ASCE/AISC Student Steel Bridge Competition (SSBC) could be to supplement the education of civil engineering students by using a comprehensive, student-driven project experience from conception and style through fabrication, erection, and testing, culminating in a very steel structure to suit client specifications and optimizes performance and economy. The SSBC increases awareness of real-world engineering issues just like spatial constraints, material properties, strength, serviceability, fabrication and erection processes, safety, esthetics, and expense. Success in inter-collegiate competition requires effective teamwork and project management. Future engineers are stimulated to innovate, practice professionalism, and use structural steel efficiently.
