A tightly welded group, Steel Bridge works hard to design and fabricate a scale steel bridge, then assemble it during a timed competition on the regional level.  The bridge is judged on its economy (construction time and weight), deflection under vertical and lateral loads, as well as aesthetics.  The design and ordering of materials is done during the winter by the leadership (Project Manager(s) and Directors).  During the winter, everyone gets to be involved!  We work multiple days a week and endless hours on the fabrication of the bridge during which you get to use power tools (and make sparks!) and hand tools to help complete the project.  Make sure you wear some clothes you don't mind getting dirty because things can get messy!
