Steel Bridge Team
AISC/ASCE Student Steel Bridge Competition
This inter-collegiate competition is an exciting visual display of students’ structural design and analysis skills at work. Teams are challenged to design, fabricate and construct their own one-tenth-scale steel bridge in the shortest time and under specific building constraints that reflect real-life structural specifications and construction regulations. ASCE-UTSA has been an active participant in the steel bridge competition since 1989. In the 20 years UTSA has participated, we have brought home numerous 1st place Regional trophies for overall performance as well as numerous category awards. This year the Steel Bridge Team placed 1st Overall at the Regional Competition and 11th Place Over All, 3rd Place in Lightness, and 4th Place in Efficiency at the 2015 National Student Steel Bridge Competition.
The UTSA Steel Bridge team will teach students how to problem solve in the area of structural engineering as well as practical machine shop skills and working as a team with other engineers. The team competes against the best engineering schools in the Region, including UT Austin, Texas A&M, and UTEP. If the team qualifies for the national competition, UTSA will go head to head with the best engineering schools across the nation. The rules are introduced in August and regional competitions are in the following Spring.
