Project Management

Practice helps just as much as getting a perfect fabrication completed. Manage your Steel Bridge Project ahead of schedule and you will compete at a higher level come regionals.

From Austin ASCE Newsletter - Dec. 2007:

"The Steel Bridge team is preparing for the Texas-Mexico regional competition which will be held in Beaumont, Texas January 18-19. After finishing 6th place at Nationals last year in Los Angeles, CA out of nearly 200 universities, top 10 in every category, and with a near full team returning, the team is prepared to perform at the same caliber this year. For the first time ever, the team will be finishing fabrication before Christmas."

Push the pace and get it done at least 2 weeks early, that should give you enough time to load test, fix any structural problems/issues thereafter, and practice for at least 5 days before regionals. It truly helps! Get 'em done on time!
