Changes

On Wood Team, we build smaller scale, design-oriented projects using only popsicle sticks, glue, and dental floss. We always promote using new techniques and improvements towards building innovative bridges. There are some constraints to follow: typically, bridges are 1.20 to 1.35 meters long, up to 600 millimeters tall, and up to 350 millimeters wide, although dimensional specifications set for the competition are subject to changing slightly each year. The main project phases include design of the bridge structure, trimming the sticks, building sheets of plywood, sawing, and drilling, suspension preparation, and assembly practice.

===Competition Results===The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) Troitsky Bridge Building Competition gives teams of engineering undergraduates a chance to design and build bridges and compete against universities from all across Canada. The final bridges are judged based on aesthetics and design originality, predicted ultimate load and mode of failure, actual ultimate load, efficiency (ultimate load/weight of the bridge), team spirit, oral presentation and booth design.
