A group of Mechanical Engineering students, known as Cougar Baja, designed an off-road vehicle and took it “on the road” to Tennessee Technical University where they competed against students from 95 other universities representing six countries. The SIUE team finished 15th overall thanks in part to a first place finish in the sled pull and a sixth place finish in the four hour endurance race. Team Co-Captain Justin Schnitker said, “We knew we would place high when only 20 cars remained operable after two hours, but sixth place was a very pleasant surprise.
“While final results are yet to be posted, it is safe to say that SIUE outperformed all Big Ten schools and all but one international school entered in the event,” Schnitker. Team Co-Captain Miles Musick added, “Today…after performing that well, it’s definitely a great time to be a Cougar.”
The SIUE Concrete Canoe Team, Play Ball, placed second overall at the 2008 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Mid-Continent Concrete Canoe Competition held in Arkansas. Because of high individual scores in multiple categories, including a first in Final Product and several first-place race finishes, ASCE also invited the SIUE team to participate in the 21st Annual ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition to be held in Montreal, Quebec, June 19-21.
The team is composed of Co-Captains Jennifer Titchenal and Troy Turner plus four other female and four other male civil engineering students. Following final exams, the team will be practicing in Cougar Lake. Donations to offset travel expenses are being accepted.

Summer is a great time to catch up, get back in sync, or get ahead.
The School of Engineering is offering a variety of courses again this summer.
The School of Engineering will offer three outreach programs in Summer 2008 to introduce high-school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to various fields of engineering as potential career choices. All three programs are residential. For a few days, students will experience college life – living in a SIUE residence hall, interacting with faculty and students of School of Engineering, participating in lectures, hands-on laboratory experiments, design competitions, and field trips. There will be plenty of activities that are fun and interesting, and that highlight some of the ways in which engineers impact our lives for the better.
