Welcome to the University of Manitoba Steel Bridge (UMSB) Team Website! UMSB is a team of undergraduate Civil Engineering students that have competed in the annual ASCE/AISC Midwest Student Steel Bridge Competition (SSBC) in the past. This year, the 2024-2025 competition will be held in Winnipeg in May 2024
The Canadian National Steel Bridge Competition started in 2016. It increases awareness of real-world engineering issues such as spatial constraints, material properties, strength, serviceability, fabrication and erection processes, safety, aesthetics, project management, and costs. Success in competition requires the application of engineering principles and theory and effective teamwork. Future engineers are stimulated to innovate, practice professionalism, and use structural steel efficiently.
The UMSB Team had a successful year at the Canadian National Steel Bridge Competition (CNSBC) 2024 in Quebec City! The 2024 Canadian National Steel Bridge Competition (CNSBC), UMSB achieved the remarkable feat of ranking Top 2 in the Canadian team, and 3rd Overall Globally at the 2024, securing the following awards;
