There are two major engineering events coming up in April.

A Model Bridge Competition will be held April 5 at 4:30 p.m. in Hammons Student Center. Approximately 400 high school students have built balsa wood bridges that are about two feet long. Missouri State students and faculty will help to test the bridges for efficiency, or the weight the bridge will support divided by the weight of the bridge itself.

Mid-Continent American Society of Civil Engineers Conference will be held April 21-22 at the University of Arkansas. Missouri State students will participate in the Steel Bridge and Concrete Canoe competitions.
