Meet the Steel Bridge team!
The MTU Steel Bridge team designs, fabricates, and constructs a competitive steel bridge to meet a specific set of requirements and withstand a certain load. They then compete in the AISC Steel Bridge Competition at the end of the school year. So far this year, they have been successful in recruiting new members to the team and getting people involved in helping design the bridge. They are working towards the following goals: place 1st in the regional competition and place in the top 5 at the national competition. They also hope to intensively train people in design, modeling, and fabrication to build an even better team next year!
