The Importance of Student Design Competitions
I surf over to the UNR website every couple of days. I like to stay in the loop on the big UNR news.
Today, when stopped by, I read that the UNR Concrete Canoe team took first place at the ASCE Mid Pacific Conference at UC Davis. (Sorry, there were a lot of links in that last sentence. As a new blogger I am trying to balance giving information with not making a whole sentence hyperlinked.)
First off, congratulations to the crew at UNR. This is quite an accomplishment. The Mid Pacific region has one of the toughest competitors in the nation: UC Berkeley. They have represented the region 15 times at nationals. Of those 15 finishes, the have only once appeared outside the top 10. They are only one of four schools with back to back first place finishes and the only school to do this twice. All other amazing stats regarding Berkeley can be found here.
