Students deliver at an engineering competition 

Published on 16 October, 2002 

A team of Machine Element Design students have proved that CQU has an edge in engineering education.

Second year students Steven Randell, James Chandler and Bob Engwicht took out fifth place in the Warman competition in Sydney at the weekend.

PhotoID:309 The Warman competition is a design and build competition for second year mechanical engineering students. This year the competition involved designing and building a device that could carry a tennis ball a distance of three metres, raise it to a height of one metre and drop it in a 100mm PVC pipe. The device had to complete this operation twice.

The winning team was from the University of Western Australia with a one second run. CQU came in fifth with a device averaging a 3.5 second run.

Engineering lecturer Ian Devenish said the students from CQU are to be congratulated for their competitive design.
