Dear CEE Community,

The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) UW Chapter’s Seismic Design Competition (SDC) team is excited to announce that we’re recruiting new members for this year, with several open positions and opportunities available!

At SDC, we design a building for a seismically active zone, focusing on architectural design, ground motion selection, and damping device implementation—all while maximizing the building’s usable space. As part of the design process, we’ll use SAP2000 to analyze and refine our building’s performance. After finalizing the design, we’ll construct a model using balsa wood, incorporating laser cutting technology this year for improved precision. Finally, the team will have the opportunity to attend the competition in person at the University of California, Berkeley!

Interested? Fantastic! Please fill out this form before our first club meeting this Thursday at 1:30 PM in More Hall, Room 110, where we’ll provide free pizza!

We’re excited to see you at our first meeting!
