Karen Koch, instructor in the Architectural Design focus in the Design & Drafting Technology program, shows members of SCC’s Board of Governors the result of a beam strength test conducted during the BOG’s May 15 meeting. Wendy Love, program instructor (far left) and Paul Buell, program chair in Milford (standing at left), also participated in the demonstration. 

Board members Dr. Dale Kruse, left, and Kathy Boellstorff, center, dump sand into a bucket to test the strength of the beam assembled by Paul Buell, chair of the Design & Drafting program’s Architectural Design focus on the Milford Campus. It took approximately 24 pounds of sand before the beam collapsed.
