PSWRC RESULTS

Hither

If CPP isn't going to make it, then it looks like UCLA will make an appearance in Gainesville. First time for the Bruins, and the fourth UC at Nats!

CSUs...need to pick it up in '09...

Also, a special address from Bart Quimby to the PSWRC, the NSSBC Competitors, and the world of engineering academia: "Back to Statics"

"I made a comment in regards to the high failure rate that occurred during the steel bridge competition. I suggested that the students could use some review as far back as statics."

"Indeed, I think that making these projects into credit courses does a great disservice to the students that stand to benefit the most from the experience."

Agreed, and uh, agreed. We'll go even further to say that student fabrication should be required, with the exception that experienced welders of any designation, be it student, staff or professional should be allowed to contribute.
