Bridge Proposal: I-79 By-pass

As the students get closer to building their own bridge, I introduced them to the task and scenario. Essentially, the students are engineers tasked with creating a bridge that safely crosses 1-79 between Aleppo and Killbuck Townships. The students know that building material costs money and they have to think about a design that is not only cost effective but safe. In today's class, we examined parts of the process in expert groups. Each bridge team sent a member to learn more about a specific task in constructing the bridge.
