It’s a pretty typical day in the office when the boss drops in and says, “Hey, the Missouri Department of Transportation has just informed us they’ve got a bridge over the Missouri River that needs replacing. We’d like to get that job. I’ve got the specs here on the location. Put your team together and come up with some preliminary design options we can send them for consideration.” What do you do next? Where do you begin? How do engineers create design plans for a new bridge? What factors impact their choices most? What do they need to know about math, physics, and materials? Go to the source. Interact with engineers to find out how they look at conflicting conditions, scientific principles, and crunching the numbers.What is it like to apply the principles of engineering to the real world of designing a specific bridge? Join us for this program, the fourth of our ten part series developed with the Missouri Department of Transportation as it builds a new bridge across the Missouri River at Glasgow, Missouri, to learn the mathematics of bridge design.
