You will be using a VERY Cool (free) computer application called 'West Point Bridge Designer'.
This application allows you to create a virtual bridge and then test it by driving a truck over it. After you have a working bridge, you will need to improve your design in one of two ways.
1 - Improve the initial design until the truck is able to make it across the bridge.
2- Refine the design to reduce the overall cost of the bridge.
Make sure that you save it into your teachers folder.
