Introduction The ASCE Student Steel Bridge Competition (SSBC) is a prestigious annual event that brings together civil engineering students from across the United States and Canada. This competition challenges students to design, fabricate, and construct a scale model of a steel bridge that meets specific requirements. The SSBC not only tests the technical skills of participants but also fosters creativity, teamwork, and practical application of engineering principles. As the engineering field continues to evolve, the importance of such competitions cannot be overstated. They play a crucial role in shaping the future of engineering by providing students with hands-on experience that is invaluable for their professional development.
