Hi Jessica,

Here are the files I have for the project. The last time I did the project was 2004, so it's been awhile. I used West Point Bridge Designer to have students practice designing their bridges before they built them. I can't remember the size of the balsa wood we used, but it was pretty thin. I once had a student use bigger wood than was allowed and his bridge never broke....so make sure you are very clear about what kind of wood the students should get.

I hope this helps! You are very welcome!

I noticed on the syllabus that I refer to a packet. I can't, for the life of me, figure out what that was or where the file is! I'm assuming it's where I gave students more information about how to build the bridge. If I find it, I'll send it along.
