The Student Steel Bridge Competition (SSBC) is an annual collegiate competition that challenges student teams to develop a scale-model steel bridge. The team must determine how to fabricate their bridge and then plan for an efficient assembly under timed construction at the competition. Bridges are then load tested and weighed, and they are also judged on aesthetics.
North Carolina State University will host the regional competition for the Carolinas Region on Saturday, April 2, 2022 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The competition will feature teams from North Carolina State University and Clemson University.
Spectators are invited and encouraged to attend!
