Steel Bridge Team

The Steel Bridge Team at Tennessee Tech is a competition-oriented group under the American Institute of Steel Construction. Each year, the team designs, fabricates, and competes with a 20-foot-long model steel bridge. The goal of the group is to provide students with an opportunity to apply class material to the design of a physical structure, obtain hands-on skills in structural modeling, steel fabrication, and bolting and welding procedures. The team represents Tennessee Tech at the AISC Steel Bridge Competition, which is held simultaneously with the ASCE symposium event!

Water Professionals

The Water Professionals chapter at Tennessee Tech University is a not-for-profit student organization for those interested in the water resources/environmental engineering and sciences fields related to water. The water industry offers a variety of diverse career options in water resources, water/wastewater treatment, hydrology, dams, flood plain management, academia, and more. Our chapter aims to provide networking, research, and knowledge development opportunities in the above-mentioned fields of the water industry. We also strive to host education and outreach events for the public. Through this organization, scholarships, internships and career opportunities are shared with students. This organization is an effective pathway to gain out-of-classroom knowledge about the various fields of water, while connecting with students and professionals in the industry.

 Advisors: Dr. Tania Datta tdatta@tntech.edu, Dr. Alfred Kalyanapu akalyanapu@tntech.edu   
 

Institute of Transportation Engineers

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) is a professional society of more than 15,000 transportation engineers, planners and other professionals in some 80 countries. Its members are responsible for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on streets, highways, and transit systems. The goal of the ITE Student Chapter is to introduce students to the transportation profession and to supplement their classroom and laboratory experiences.
