Timber Strong

The Timber Strong Design Build competition focuses on structural engineering, construction management, sustainability, and cost efficiency. The goal is to design and build a two story wood-framed structure, within competition guidelines, that tests the deflection of a built-in cantilever beam. Teams will prepare a presentation detailing materials used, costs, and design features. This competition gives students experience utilizing softwares such as AutoCAD and Revit to create structural plans and a 3-D model of the build. This competition is incredibly hands-on and incorporates various engineering applications all in one competition.
