AISC announces 2021 student steel bridge competition winners

Steel Bridge Competition : More than a thousand student engineers at 102 colleges and universities around the country pulled off a remarkable feat this year: They safely participated in the American Institute of Steel Construction’s Student Steel Bridge Competition, either competing from their own campuses with a fabricated and constructed physical bridge, entering a design-only Supplemental competition, or both.

AISC Thursday announced the results of the national finals, which included 31 of those schools. The Oregon Institute of Technology took first prize overall in the Supplemental competition, and the University of Florida came out on top in the Compete from Campus finals.

“I’m so incredibly impressed with you,” AISC Director of Education Christina Harber told students in a webcast Thursday. “You overcame many obstacles to participate in the competition this year. You probably had a full plate this year with your usual classes and activities, plus many atypical challenging situations. And you chose to participate anyway–not just participate. You excelled.”

Instead of meeting at regional or national events, Compete from Campus teams individually assembled their bridges under the same competition regulations that would have applied at an in-person competition. Industry experts volunteered their time to actually visit campuses and judge the bridge builds; other aspects of the Compete from Campus competition were judged remotely. The Supplemental competition entries consisted of engineering reports and videos, all of which could be judged remotely.

This year marked the national finals debut of both University of Massachusetts Amherst and University of Texas at Tyler. The University of Wisconsin–Madison has the longest streak of nationals participation, qualifying for more than 20 years.

Without further ado: the winners of the 2021 AISC Student Steel Bridge Competition!
