the Standard Bridge ProjectBackgroundStudents have traditionally designed, analyzed, built, and tested small-scale bridges as part of anintroductory solid mechanics course. This past fall, however, students designed, analyzed, andbuilt sound-generating or musical bridges in small groups. Fifty-two students, mainlysophomores, enrolled in and completed the course. The project was inspired by discussions withcomposer Molly Herron, who is writing an engineering-inspired piece to be performed in thespring of 2017 as part of a celebration for the 150th anniversary of the Thayer School ofEngineering at Dartmouth. Molly requested that students build unique instruments that wereinteractive and symbolized engineering for the performance. The class

The peer review process asks students to evaluate andprovide feedback on both the analytical content as well as the written presentation of the project.This process allows students to see different approaches to the same problem. Their familiaritywith the problem allows them to provide constructive feedback, while reviewing the work ofanother group allows them an objectivity they cannot yet apply to their own work.
