2018-2019 challenge is completed!

Special thank you to all of our sponsors during the 2018-2019 Steel Bridge Competition. Without them, our awesome club will not be the same!

The first half of the bridge is done. Only 6 more weeks until competition. Look out Brookings, here we come!

Bridge Breaking on Sunday Sept 16 at 1pm. Can't wait to find out how much weight last year's bridge can hold!

Looking forward to seeing all these fresh new faces at the first Steel Bridge meeting of the 2019 season! Come on down to Town 322 today at 7pm for ice cream and fun

This past weekend, our team of 28 students traveled to Coralville/Iowa City for the Midwest Regional Competition. We built our 174lb bridge in a team best time of 6:28. Our bridge had an aggregate deflection of 1.04" with 2500lb loaded. With a total cost of $6.18 million, we placed 3rd out of 12 behind Lakehead and Platteville. Unfortunately, this means we were unable to meet our goal of attending nationals this year. Thanks to all of our sponsors and our members for this unforgettable year.
