In an environment filled with enthusiasm and sportsmanship, twelve junior students and ASCE members represented Rafik Hariri University at the annual Popsicle Bridge Competition that took place on Saturday April 1, 2017 at LAU. RHU students formed three teams and achieved the 4th, 6th, and 13th among 30 groups competing from other eight Lebanese universities.
The leaders of the teams that ranked in 4th place, Maysoun Fayek and Besselandres Ammar, succeeded to impress the judges with their model in terms of aesthetic and joinery. The process of building these models gave our students an insight into failure modes, critical members and joints which are concepts given to senior students. Hurray for RHU ASCE members and Civil Engineers.
