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.
