It’s Engineering Students vs. Professors In Impromptu Mystery Design Contest

Who: A team of Cal State Fullerton mechanical engineering students will compete against a team of mechanical engineering professors in an Impromptu Design Competition.
   
When: 10 a.m. – noon Friday, Nov. 14
   
Where: Engineering Quad
   
Challenge: The mission for each team is to design and build a device about twice the size of a shoebox in one hour. When the event begins, both teams will be provided with materials and a description of the device needed. It will be a mystery until then, as no advance instructions will be given. After an hour of designing and building, competition between the two teams’ devices will begin. The devices will be required to accomplish specified tasks. A panel of judges will determine the winner.
