The university’s student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers placed sixth among 43 schools in the 2007 Steel Bridge National Competition. This year’s competition hosted by ASCE required teams to build a self-supporting bridge across a 20-foot river.  In the judging categories, the team placed fifth in construction economy, seventh in structural efficiency, sixth in construction speed, eighth in lightness, and 17th in stiffness. The team members were graduate students Charles Hammond, Alan Kreisa, Josh Mouras, and undergraduates Chris Anspach, Hol Gaskill, Gary Lehman, and Ty Womble. Most of the members will be participating for the team next year.
