a panel of practicing civil engineers for quality of construction and
application of engineering principles and then each bridge will be tested to destruction. Students
can participate individually or in
teams - the maximum being 4 students per team. Prizes will be awarded to the student or team in each Chapter (Eastern, Central,
Western and Labrador) constructing the strongest bridge as
follows:
