The United States Military Academy’s 2010
West Point Bridge Design Contest
The purpose of the 3rd annual West Point Bridge Design Contest is to provide middle school and high school students with a realistic, engaging introduction to engineering. The contest is provided as a service to education–and as a tribute to the Academy’s two hundred years of service to the United States of America.
GOALS:
The contest will provide students with an opportunity to:
• Learn about engineering through a realistic, hands-on problem-solving experience.
• Learn about the engineering design process–the application of math, science, and technology to create devices and systems that meet human needs.
• Learn about truss bridges and how they work.
• Learn how engineers use the computer as a problem-solving tool.
We also hope students will have some fun pitting their problem-solving skills against those of other virtual bridge designers around the globe.
