2018 ASCE/AISC New England Region
Student Steel Bridge Competition
By Nicholas Golon, PE
Host school University of Vermont successfully load
tests their bridge.
Whereas other schools, Worcester Polytechnic
Institute and Western New England University
among them, were less successful…
Regardless of the outcome, all schools competed
with professionalism, civility and respect,
showcasing their readiness to join the Engineering
Profession. Having had the opportunity to judge
this competition for more than a decade, I can say
the students continue to impress each and every
year, bringing a level of enthusiasm that is
refreshing to say the least.
Congratulations to all that were involved this year,
and best of luck to the school’s that finished in the
top three that will move on to the Nation
Competition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign!
1. Université of Laval
2. University of Connecticut
