Thank you to all those who showed up today for the Info Session. I am eager to see all of your designs during the competition. There were a few good questions that were brought up:

Will we need to submit the 2 page report if we are not competing for the bonus %5 in ENCI 451?
No you do not, but you will need to provide an estimation on when your bridge will fail (you do not need to show your work).

Where do I get my CSCE Membership?
Better late than never, please follow the link below. It's free, quick and easy.

Cheerio,

What's this about?
The CSCE Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition is an annual event where teams can compete against fellow students to design and construct the most innovative bridge. The challenge? How well can your technical knowledge translate into the real world. The bridge can only be constructed using only the provided 100 popsicle sticks and glue and will need to adhere to the specifications outlined in the rulebook. At the end of the competition, a 2 page report detailing the design alongside your bridge will be submitted to our organizers on Campus. On competition day, a panel of virtual judges consisting of Industry Professionals and Professors will assess the design and workmanship of the bridge. But the most important judge of them all will be the "Load Test", and I heard he doesn't sugarcoat his criticisms.

How do I register?

  *   Registration is first come first serve through Google Form, which will open after the info session tomorrow (attending tomorrow's event will give you a better chance at securing a spot).
  *   The registration fee is $5 per person, made through an e-transfer to csceuc at gmail.com<mailto:csceuc at gmail.com> (please send the amount after we have confirmed your placement).
  *   Each team will consist of 1 to 4 members, however due to Covid protocols, they cannot build the bridge together. Exceptions will be made if team members share residency.
  *   Each team will receive a Care Package with the following items: Building Kit (100 popsicle sticks, 1 bottle of glue), a competition rule form, and a team registration form.
