Earlier this year, a team of dedicated students and young professionals, in collaboration with Grimshaw Architects, schlaich bergermann partner, and Hofstra University, ran a successful design-build workshop and construction project with funding support from the SEI Futures Fund. The project, an adaptation of projects by Scale Rule in the UK, organized the workshop, design process, and construction to inspire students and nurture the creativity, understanding, and problem-solving skills at the core of structural engineering practice. Project goals included learning collaborative interdisciplinary design and communication skills to encourage more engineers, more diverse engineers, and engineers with a changing skill set.
