There are twenty-six high school and nine middle school teams from around the state participating in this year's finals.
The event has been sponsored by WVDOT for over 25 years and allows students to see the real-world effects of their engineering education.
Students had to design their bridge using the Engineering Encounters Bridge Designer software and their design must be able to hold up after a truck crosses it and be cheaper to build than their competitors.
The top three finalists this year are Park Middle School in Raleigh County, Greenbrier East High School in Greenbrier County, and Suncrest Middle School in Monongalia County.
The finals will take place Saturday, March 29 on the WVU Tech campus.
Events begin at 9:30 A.M., awards and banquet will be held at 2:00 P.M. at the Beckley Raleigh County Convention Center.
