Regents physics students were recently assigned the challenge of constructing a balsa wood bridge for a friendly competition to see who could produce the most efficient bridge. A set of specifications was provided that constrained the project to no more than 30 grams total mass, and to specific minimums and maximums on all dimensions.
Within those constraints, students were encouraged to be creative with design and use of trusses. The bridges this year were of particularly high quality, showing students really threw themselves into the spirit of the project. The efficiency of each bridge was determined by destructive loading: gradually adding sand to a bucket suspended under the bridge until catastrophic failure occurred. The mass required to break the bridge was then divided by the mass of the bridge itself to produce an efficiency number for bridge comparison.

RPI Ambassadors visit Lansingburgh High School.
On March 1st, the RPI Engineering Ambassadors came to Lansingburgh High School to work with Physics classes in seminars about engineering design processes. Physics students learned about parallel and cross linked polymers, and the manufacturing systems involved in the production of Legos. Students then interpreted blue prints of shapes made from Lego blocks, and constructed the shapes from Legos at their desks. For more information and photos please click here.
