Sault College, Professional Engineers Ontario host annual bridge building competition
The annual bridge competition took place at Sault College Friday, where 360 entries made by students and individuals from across the Algoma District were put to the test to see which ones could withstand the most pressure — literally.
“Balsa wood in particular is very easy to break, which is the whole point,” said Pilon. “We want to have bridges that we can actually test on a standard load cell device that we use, and essentially it allows us to easily score who can use the principles of engineering and sciences to come up with the bridge that might best their competitors.”
The event, hosted by Sault College and Professional Engineers Ontario uses sponsorships from Evolugen and PUC Distribution Inc. to bring down the costs of the balsa wood kits, bringing the price of the kits down from $10 to $4 for each kit. Algoma Workforce Investment Corporation also pitches in with bridge building tool boxes.
