Abstract:

Our annual College bowl brings together student teams from area schools’ Chemistry/Chemical Engineering Departments.  Each team includes three students and two alternates, but other students are invited to attend. Questions are selected at random from a preselected list of Engineering, Chemistry and Physics questions with time limits for each team’s answer. There will be several rounds of questions.  Answers are judged by a panel of engineer-judges not affiliated with any of the participating schools.     The panel will grade the responses on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the “perfect” answer.  In the case of a tie, the moderator’s score will be selected to break the tie. Cash prizes ranging from $300 (1^st place) to $100 (4^th place) will be awarded based on total scores.

Executive Committee Meeting:

The next executive meeting will be held at Paisano’s Pizza on Tuesday, October 5, 2010.  Everyone is invited so please feel free to attend.
