Judges have now narrowed entries to five university teams to compete in the finals of the Student Titanium Pedestrian Bridge Design Competition sponsored by the Defense Metals Technology Center (DMTC) and The University of Akron. Teams selected are from the Kent State University, Ball State University, Miami University, and the University of Akron. One university, unnamed, qualified two teams. Other participating institutions were Case Western Reserve University, Purdue University, and Stevens Institute of Technology. The finalists will personally present their entries to judges on 14 April 2010. The judges will then make known the First Place and Second Place winners and three designated as Honorable Mention on 20 May 2010 at a dinner at InfoCision Stadium, the new University of Akron Football complex. The DMTC will provide scholarship money to students on the five teams. Likewise, it will convey grants to their institutions for the study of specialty metals in commercial applications. Government and private funding will be sought for the bridge construction after the competition.
