100617 Engineering Competition

In the spacious University Center’s Anchor Ballroom, 42 teams consisting of sixth to 12th grade students, competed by shooting eight-balls down hollow cardboard tubes. Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi’s College of Science and Engineering (COSE) hosted the Coastal Bend Engineering Competition Oct. 6. In a fun, hands-on engineering related activity called the “binary game,” the students learned about electrical engineering. This was the largest competition yet, with more than 200 students competing, about 20 coaches supervising and a myriad of volunteers lending a helping hand.
