Pedestrian Bridge 鈥淭he Eswatini Foot Bridge鈥
Abstract
This project is supported by Bridges to Prosperity (BTP) and Engineers in Action (EIA).听Our concept is to design and participate in the construction of a pedestrian bridge in a remote community across the globe.听The opportunity of having a pedestrian bridge increases prosperity, education and community development in remote areas cutoff from schools and markets by rivers. The project includes the involvement of five 大象传媒 alumni, current students and members of BTP and EIA.听听During the 2020 spring break, the team went to Eswatini, a country in southern Africa that has a lack of infrastructure to construct the bridge. For their efforts on this project, they received the 大象传媒 undergraduate research competition Wave Award for Community Engagement.
