Unmanned Ground Vehicle Wins Best Overall Design Award at Engineering Design Day 2010
An autonomous ground vehicle that could some day be used in hazardous rescue operations and a soil-coring rig for shoring up bridge columns were just two of the 60 student engineering projects on display at Engineering Design Day.
Mechanical engineering senior Jeremy Tysinger demonstrates his team's soil-coring apparatus for shoring up crumbling bridge columns. Tysinger and his team were awarded $750 for giving the best project presentation.
