"Colorado
State University" Design Paper (19th):
Presentation (6th):
The team was asked what impact tumblehome had on initial and final stability. They were questioned regarding the manner in which pre-stress was applied and measured and how the reinforcement was integrated into the composite design. The judges asked questions on the team's management structure and its efficiency. The team was asked what is a pozzolonic clay, why the dye they used was not mentioned as an ingredient in the mix table, and why lime water was used in the mix. The judges closed out the session by asking the team why they chose to use market value as opposed to the costs pre-specified in the rules for the competition.
Product (16th):
Name: Eagle
Vital Stats: Colorado State University is located in Fort Collins, Colorado. They have proudly represented the Rocky Mountain Region
twice at the national level (1993 and 2002). CSU hosted the NCCC in 1992 and
their highest finish to date was fifth in 1993.
Canoe/Materials/Facts: The Eagle was an asymmetrical canoe that was designed using the program Prolines. The boat had pre-stressed ribs and portrayed a painting of the symbol of America, the bald eagle. |
CSU’s theme was
pride, power, and bravery that soars above all. Their power point
presentation was given by three team members (two male and one female) dressed
in formal attire. The team used microphones to accentuate their
delivery. The graphics were crisp and clear and the script well written
and well delivered. The construction and curing process was highlighted
along with the project management.
