On February 13, 2010, high school students participated in the 2010 Northeast Pennsylvania’s Regional Bridge Building Competition held at the Viewmont Mall in Dickson City, PA. Competition organizers invited Mr. John DeAngelis, Johnson College Architectural Drafting and Design Technology Program Chair, to serve as a judge for the third year in a row.
The competition allows students to display their understanding of scientific and engineering principles. Each student constructs a model wooden bridge that is tested to determine the amount of pressure and weight it can withstand. Winners are eligible to advance to the International Bridge Building Competition to be held on May 1, 2010 in Philadelphia, PA.
Mr. DeAngelis used his expertise in Architectural Drafting & Design Technology to inspect the competition entries. As one of fifteen judges, he checked that bridges adhered to the specifications set by the International Bridge Building Committee.

The bridge designs turned out great!
This is just the best experience; if there is any school that can prepare you for the acting world, it’s this one.
You made a few fine points there. I did a search on the issue and found mainly folks will have the same opinion with your blog.
Nice idea about understanding of scientific and engineering principles. Applying this kind of method will develop technical skills of a person.
