Engineers look at a problem and say “bring it on!” Think you can beat them at their own game? Well, bring it on!
Whether you’d prefer a game of Operation® with the Biomedical Engineering club, a rain gutter regatta with the Sailing Club, or a good old fashioned pinewood derby shootout with the Society of Women Engineers, you can get your fill of competition at this year’s E&T Week. Prizes range from bragging rights to a brand new MacBook laptop!
