DUNKIN' BOOTH: (5:30 pm-7:30 pm)

Our most daring professors sit in a dunking booth and students throw balls at a target.When a bull’s eye is recorded, a lever is tripped, causing the professor to be suddenly dropped into a trough of cold water.

ROBOTICS COMPETITION: (5:45 pm)

Several daring robotics teams will attempt to undertake one of the most challenging competitions they will face in engineering. Given specific instructions and guidelines (which can be found here), the teams must finish qualifications while being thrown into all different sorts of obstacles.

BEST CHILI CONTEST: (6.00 pm sharp)

The Chili contest has two categories; companies and student organizations. Our panel of judges select the best three bowls of chili for each category.

All tournaments are open to engineering students, faculty members and company representatives. There is a $10 fee per team for each tournament.

Student organizations interested in organizing and supervising the tournaments can keep the fees collected.
