Bowling Green, KY - Western Kentucky University civil engineering students competed in the Ohio Valley Student Conference April 5-9 at The Ohio State University. More than 400 civil engineering students 13 colleges and universities from Ohio, Kentucky and western Pennsylvania competed.

In the steel bridge competition, WKU finished third overall. This is the fifth year in a row that the team has finished in the top three at the regional competition. The team placed first in construction speed and economy.

Dr. Shane Palmquist, steel bridge team faculty advisor, said: "The team this year decided to design and build a beam bridge featuring new quick snap connections which significantly improved construction time. The new connections required a very high level of accuracy and workmanship in terms of design, fabrication and welding. Once again, the team rose to the challenge fabricating a bridge worth of WKU's praise. I couldn't be more proud of their dedication and accomplishment this year. This team of young men and women are extremely talented and deserving of praise."
