How do engineers help people and society? Bridge project

The video follows engineering students from the University of Wisconsin Platteville as they design and construct a reinforced concrete pedestrian bridge in a Ghanaian village. The bridge aims to improve access to education, healthcare, and markets, especially during the rainy season. Despite challenges like weather and construction setbacks, the team, with significant community involvement, completes the bridge in two weeks. The project not only enhances infrastructure but also empowers the community, fostering a sense of accomplishment and future potential.
