On February 25, 2026, TCNJ XE members and candidates collaborated with the ASCE and HE student clubs to stage a Steel Bridge construction demonstration. Members of the 2026 Steel Bridge team were on hand to guide students in bridge construction. After assembling the bridge, XE members competed for the coveted Krstic Cup. This year, the task was to build the tallest and sturdiest windy tower out of paper and tape that could withstand the wind from a small fan without toppling over. Congratulations go to our junior members, Mary, Lindsey, Rhea, and Riley, for their very inventive solution!
