NDSU bridge wins
North Dakota State University civil engineering students placed first last weekend at the Midwest Regional Steel Bridge Competition for the fourth year in a row.
The seven-student team competed against eight other universities.
The overall goal of the competition is to have a light, stiff and easy to assemble bridge. The rules change each year to give students a new test.
NDSU’s bridge is 22 feet long and stands about 6 feet above the ground.
The students will advance to the national competition May 26-27 in Salt Lake City. NDSU won the national contest in 2004, 2002 and 1995, more times than any other university.
Go Bison!
