Testing the Limits: Building Engineering Skills Through Bridge Competitions
Thursday, December 12 Whether it’s the loud “CRACK” of a breaking bridge or the thrill of a close competition, bridge building engages future engineers in hands-on, project-based learning. Students will gain an understanding of how forces act in a truss and apply the engineering design cycle to identify weaknesses and strengthen their bridge design to improve performance. From middle school to college, bridge building competitions are a great way to demonstrate—and test—complex engineering concepts, like measuring applied load and deflection or determining the modulus of elasticity. Join Vernier engineering specialist Tom Smith as he introduces the trusted technology that educators and competition organizers use to help future engineers build better bridges. |
