- The top three winners of the 2015 International Student Competition on Cold-Formed Steel Design were announced today, with winners from Tongji University and the University of Waterloo.
The International Student Competition on Cold-Formed Steel Design promotes higher education in cold-formed steel structural design and encourages students to use creative thinking skills to solve engineering problems.
Co-sponsors for the 2015 competition included the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI), the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the University of North Texas, and the American Society of Civil Engineers, Committee of Cold-Formed Members (ASCE).
- First Place - Shaole Yu, Tongji University, China
- Second Place - Taylor Porter, University of Waterloo, Canada
- Third Place - Wenying Zhang, Tongji University, China
The top three winners will receive monetary awards and award plaques and will have their designs exhibited at various industry conferences in 2016. The top 10 students will receive one-year student memberships in the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute. The winning designs, list of top 10 student winners, and additional information are posted at http://www.cfsei.org/student-competition-2015-winners
The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute comprises hundreds of structural engineers and other design professionals who are finding a better way to produce safe and efficient designs for commercial and residential structures with cold-formed steel. CFSEI members work together to develop and evolve industry standards and design methods, produce and issue technical bulletins, and provide seminars and online training to improve the knowledge and skills base of engineers and design professionals.
