Fundraising for the project is well under way! The team did some research and utilized donation contacts from last year’s team to reach out to a variety of companies. Companies were asked for monetary donations to support the TCNJ chapter of The American Society of Civil Engineers and the corresponding projects. We would like to thank CCA Civil, Brown & Caldwell and family friends who have graciously donated to the project!

The 2018 Steel Bridge Team is hitting the ground running this semester! We have been researching top teams around the nation and analyzing their designs. After talking with our machine shop technician Mr. Joe Zanetti, the team already has some solid design ideas to build from. There is lots of room for improvement and redesign for the less successful aspects of last year’s bridge. Our next goal is to create several design alternatives and test them using finite element analysis software.
