Welcome Teams, Students, Faculty, Volunteers, Judges, and Sponsors!
The Student Steel Bridge Competition (SSBC) has been taking place since 1987 when Lawrence Tech, Michigan Tech, and Wayne State competed in a parking lot to determine who had the best bridge. This first competition sparked an interest in competing across the country, thus starting the regional competitions and national finals. The event has grown every year since, and more than 200 schools are expected to compete this year, with the top 40-45 teams across North America advancing to the 2025 SSBC National Finals. This year the SSBC National Finals will be hosted by Iowa Sate University in Ames, IA!
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) are the organizing sponsors of SSBC. 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.
