2001 Projects  
Bolivia 2001 Project Web Site 2001 Slide Shows
Two International Senior Design classes to Bolivia were offered in 2001. The students and local villagers constructed the two largest masonry walls for the church/school assembly hall. The school, at the time, was 5 rooms. Michigan Tech students initiated feasibility studies of a new school site that floods with average rains.
The second class of Michigan Tech students, working with locals, constructed and erected church roof trusses and installed the masonry subfloor for the church/school assembly hall. A structural design analysis of wall and roof systems was performed for the planned school complex and site feasibility was reassessed.
