Bridge design process
Bradlee CruiseMs. Fitzpatrick
3B
The class was tasked with constructing a bridge out of balsa wood under a budget of $160K
Define the problem
I know the bridge must be constructed using triangles to ensure stability
Brainstorm
The bridge must be functional, stable and be as close asPossible to the budget
Identify criteria and specify strengths
I know I can use different measurements on each piece to ensure stability while reducing the price significantly.
Explore possibilities
Make a small bridge using triangles to be stable and cost-effective
Select an Approach
Make a model or prototype
The bridge failed multiple times and needed much tweaking to make it functional
Test and Evaluate the design using specifications
I tweaked the measurements of each piece until it was stable enough
Redefine the design
My design was very successful and was in compliance with all criteria.
Solution
The bridge slightly exceeded the budget but was fully functional
