The school’s 13th annual bridge-building contest for physics students aims to test students’ mastery of design principles, said Marvin Orr, science department chairman. “(Students have ...

The selected design is a cable-stayed independent deck bridge that will feature no steel work to connect the two decks and will be built without tolls.

In a spirited competition, students worked to make the most efficient model truss bridge possible. ... their efficient design was good enough for the team to take second place out of the 21 teams.

“It has been a challenge to design and fabricate a bridge with all of the specified constraints in mind while also considering the importance of a fast build time,” explains project managers Ben ...

"The goal of the competition is to build the most efficient bridge," the team's leader senior Aaron Levine said. The Steel Bridge Team is a group of roughly 15 engineering students, ranging from ...
