About WPBD 2005  

The West Point Bridge Designer 2005 has been replaced by WPBD 2006. WPBD 2005 is no longer supported and cannot be used to enter the West Point Bridge Design Contest. Nonetheless, WPBD 2005 is still offered on this site, for the benefit of teachers who have integrated the software into their math, science, and technology curricula.
