Pop's Engineering Final Blog#2

My second favorite engineering project is Balsa Bridge Project. We made the bridge from Balsa wood. The bridge needed to meet all requirements and in the last class, Mr. Joslin is the one who measured weight our bridge can hold. My bridge is created by the concept using much wood. I calculated trusses first and then put it all together. My bridge could hold the weight more than I expected it to be. In contrast, I still need to improve it a lot. I should make the base more organized and use less wood. I still learned a lot from this project. I knew I need to be more careful when designing something and using time properly. Moreover, learning truss in civil engineering is a new thing for me. This project is perfect for me, if Mr. Joslin’s going to do it again, he should choose the Balsa Bridge project as one of his class projects. I’m so happy that once I used to make one of the amazing engineering projects!!!
