Engineers in Training Build with Triangles

The Engineers in Training (EIT’s) recently were introduced to the use of triangles in engineering due to their strength properties.
The objective was to build structures that would reach a maximum height using only marshmallows($.05 per marshmallow) and spaghetti ($.10 per strand) for a total budget of $4.00. Lab assistant, Mr. Jay B. could advise for a $.02 consulting fee, which students began stating, “Mr. Wallace our team would like to buy a Jay, please.” The record height among the four classes was 38 inches, set by Mr. Cody G., Mr. Jared S., Mr. Elliot P., and Mr. Daniel B.
