New Jersey Institute of Technology students will join 43 other collegiate teams vying for the top prize at the 2023 Student Steel Bridge Competition National Finals this summer in San Diego, after winning the New York metropolitan regional event at Rowan University.
Civil engineering students from NJIT, Princeton, Stevens Institute of Technology, and three area high schools competed in a 3D-printed bridge competition at NJIT’s Makerspace that saw NJIT students taking home a first place prize in the “Stiffest Bridge” category. Both the collegiate and high school divisions were judged on five categories: best presentation, least support material, fastest assembly time, best aesthetics, and stiffest bridge. NJIT and Princeton tied for first place in overall score.
New Jersey Institute of Technology’s civil engineering program now ranks among “the top 10 nationally”, according to the latest data published by College Factual.
