The United States Military Academy is pleased to offer the West
Point Bridge Design Contest. The purpose of the contest is to
provide middle school and high school students with a realistic, engaging introduction
to engineering. We provide this contest as a service to education--and
as a tribute to the Academy's two hundred years of service to the United
States of America. The contest will provide you 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 you will have some fun pitting your
problem-solving skills against those of other virtual bridge designers around
the globe. Founded in 1802, the United States Military Academy at West Point was the first school in the U.S. to offer a formal program of instruction in engineering. During the first half of the 19th century, civil engineering was the foundation of the West Point curriculum. Academy graduates of that era designed and built many of the young nation's railroads, bridges, harbors, and roads. This contest commemorates West Point's engineering heritage and its role in developing the nation's infrastructure. SIGN UP TODAY!!! |
