Architectural Drafting and Design Chairperson Judges Bridge Building Competition

Tags: , ,

John DeAngelis, Chairperson of Johnson College’s Architectural Drafting and Design Technology Program, was one of several judges for the Northeast Pennsylvania’s 21st Annual Regional Bridge Building Competition on Saturday, February 21, 2009.

The event was held at the Viewmont Mall in Dickson City, PA. DeAngelis was asked by the organization to help judge the contest, which challenges high school students from regional schools to build model wooden bridges that can withstand a certain amount of pressure and weight.

DeAngelis said of the experience, “I wanted to participate because… it’s related to what we do… It’s interesting to see students who may be future engineers. They are there because they are interested.”

    thank you very nice

  2. I had to do a similar project in high school. We had to build bridges then they were put in this machine that applies pressure on them and tests how much pressure it can withstand before it breaks to pieces. Pretty interesting

    I am teaching a class on Bridge building and engineering. My students are in the 5th, and 6th grades. What information can you assist me with to help them understand the entire process. Is there a website that can help give analysis on cost and time line to build a bridge over a designated span. If you can help in any way please let me know.

    Thank you

    We’ve used similar devices when building prototypes for construction. They work really well don’t they. Have you had any other experience with them?

  27. Very nice projects, good luck in future contests.

    I think with the limitations of timber ie you cannot really bend it or work against its natural properties can be a hard task – so I think the results are not bad
