About Us
We are a collaborative group of undergraduate engineers looking for an oppurtunity to make a diffrence.
The Undergraduate Seismic Design Team launched its bid to compete in the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) 2015 Seismic Design Competition (SDC), in September 2014. With Adrian Crowder and Mike Kovacs as the primary graduate student advisers on the project, undergraduate students from 2nd year to 6th year (including specialty programs and internship-experienced students) gathered to learn about the opportunity, and what was required to compete. It was the advisers’ goal to teach a diverse undergraduate group about the dynamic design of structures, and to encourage them to problem solve their way to success. Adrian and Mike also wanted to encourage the team to take on the challenge from several unique angles.
