The timber strong competition is a chance for students to design and build a timber structure with upperclassmen, faculty, and industry support. Students get hands-on experience with design in applications such as AutoCAD and Revit, calculations such as stress, strain, and wind load, teamwork, and construction. The timber structure will be built in sections and on the day of competition, students will be tasked with assembling the structure in a timed environment, and the structure will be subjected to a variety of tests.
