Register for Tomorrow’s Wood Design 101 Webinar!

This Wednesday at 6 PM, join SEAOSC for “Typical Roof Types, Framing Layouts & Details,” presented by Mikhail Gershfeld, SE.

With more than four decades of experience in structural engineering practice, academia, and research, Gershfeld brings extensive expertise in wood structures and timber engineering. His work has included seismic performance, community resilience, and mass timber construction, making this a session you won’t want to miss.

Wood Design 101 is a 10-week course designed to help engineers with limited wood design experience build a stronger foundation in wood, including material behavior, framing systems, load paths, lateral design fundamentals, and common field challenges through practical, real-world examples.

Each week features a 1.5-hour session focused on building practical skills you can add to your professional toolkit. Registration remains open throughout the course, so it’s not too late to join.

📅 Tomorrow, Wednesday at 6 PM

The SEAOSC Gingerbread Competition returns this December 5, and early registration closes October 2! Teams will put their creativity, engineering skills, and holiday spirit to the test as they design and build their gingerbread creations in a race against the clock.

Teams that register on or before the early registration date will receive a 30-minute head start, giving them extra time to plan, build, and perfect their masterpiece before the competition begins. If you’ve joined us for a previous Gingerbread Competition, you know just how valuable those extra minutes can be when it comes down to the final details.

Gather your team, start brainstorming your design, and get ready for a fun challenge that brings together the SEAOSC community for an afternoon of creativity, friendly competition, and holiday cheer. View more information and register at www.seaoc.org/events/socal-gingerbread-challenge
