Past, Current, and Upcoming Events

Events! These are the events, upcoming and past of which our Chapter is a part.

  • December 11 1998: ASME dinner. Chancy Schulte.

  • September 19 1998: The Cantilever Contest. Melissa Morrell.

  • September 18 1998: Barbeque for freshman engineers. Ani Hsieh.

  • April 19 1998: The Egg Drop Contest: Melissa Morrell spearheaded this campaign, which was carried out on a gray sunday afternoon. A dozen entrants were supplied with various materials to build structures that might protect an egg from the adverse effects of a thirty foot drop onto cement. Scoring was based on two data: whether the egg broke or not, and the time elapsed while falling to the ground. Engineers and non-engineers alike participated, with the grand prize, sadly enough, being stolen by the latter.
