The bridge comprises multiple members that must be constructed during the timed competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the fall semester is devoted&nbsp;to designing the steel bridge. Fabrication begins in January and will continue until the regional competition in the first week of April. There are periodic meetings throughout the fall. However, things ramp up in the spring semester resulting in a higher need for involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meetings will be\u00a0<strong>every Monday <\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Wednesday <\/strong>at <strong>6:00 pm<\/strong> in <strong>Sustainable Education Building (SEB) 121!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
