2006 National Competition
2006 Regional Competition
2005 Regional Competition
2004
The 2004 regional competition was held at Northeastern University in Boston.  Unfortunately, the UMaine team was disqualified due to a "grate" error.
2003
In 2003 the team was rebuilt from scratch.  No one on the team had any experience with the steel bridge competition or had even taken a steel course.  We came together each week for a few hours and designed the bridge.  Cives Steel was generous enough to pay for the fabrication of our design.  The 2003 team  traveled to WPI to compete in the New England Regional Steel Bridge Competition.  The UMaine bridge was disqualified after it became "unstable" during loading, however the team learned a lot and were ready to jump into the next year's competition.
2001
UMaine's steel bridge team took 1st place at the New England Regionals in the aesthetics category in 2001!
1999
The 1999 University of Maine Steel Bridge Team attended the New England Regional Competition at Northeastern University in Boston on November 7th.  While students designed the 18 foot, under-truss bridge, the steel was donated and fabricated by Cives Steel of Augusta.  Although Maine's bridge did not win the competition, it performed as well, if not better than the team expected.  The UMaine bridge won first place in the aesthetics category.  The University of Vermont and Wentworth Institute of Technology received first and second place respectively.  These two teams traveled to Alaska to represent the New England Region at National Competition next summer.
1998
The University of Maine Steel Bridge Team attended the 1998 New England Regional Competition at Norwich University in Vermont on November 14th and 15th.  The 21 foot span over-truss bridge was designed by students and fabricated by Cives Steel of Augusta. Cives Steel also donated the materials.  Eight students and Professor Dana Humphrey braved an early snowstorm and traveled to Norwich University. Six New England Schools participated in the competition. Although UMaine's bridge didn't perform as well as expected, it was a profitable learning experience for the students. Merrimack College and Wentworth Institute of Technology earned top honors at Regionals.
