EVENT: Engineering Design Challenge at OSU-Tulsa
DATE: February 23, 2006
For the third consecutive year, Oklahoma State University-Tulsa has challenged local students to design, build and race a self-propelled, motorized watercraft for the university’s Engineering Design Challenge on Feb. 23.
Student teams from several Tulsa and Stillwater middle schools and high schools will participate in the challenge at 9:30 a.m. in OSU-Tulsa’s Main Hall Commons.
Dr. Carl Latino, OSU associate professor of engineering, hopes the design challenge will help get students interested and involved in engineering at a young age.
“This challenge is an excellent opportunity for students to learn the basic principals of engineering design, problem-solving and teamwork in an environment that is fun and rewarding,” Latino said.
Awards will be given in categories such as fastest boat, aesthetics and teamwork.
