They competed against 17 other teams in this international competition. The team has been preparing for this competition since last fall and achieved a 1st place overall finish at the regional competition held at the University of Missouri - Columbia in early October. The team is advised by Dr. Kerry Slattery. The objective of the competition was to produce a 2" concrete cube that achieves, as closely as possible, a target design strength of 40 MPa and a target mass of 230 grams per cube.
