DUNKIN' BOOTH: (4.30 pm-6.00 pm)

Our most daring professors sit in a dunking booth and students throw balls at a target.When a bull’s eye is recorded, a lever is tripped, causing the professor to be suddenly dropped into a trough of cold water.

SLIDE RULE CONTEST: (5.15 pm)

For our professors who have held on to their slide rules,
now is the time to dust 'em off and enter the slide rule
contest. Watch the professors sweat as they compete
against each other.

BEST CHILI CONTEST: (6.00 pm)

The Chili contest has two categories; companies and student organizations. Our panel of judges select the best three bowls of chili for each category.

TOURNAMENTS: (5.00 pm - 8.00 pm)

All tournaments are open to engineering students, faculty members and company representatives. There is a $10 fee per team for each tournament. If you do not have enough members to form a team, we will pair you with other students or companies. Student organizations interested in organizing and supervising the tournaments can keep the fees collected.

All contest and tournament winners will be honored. The winner of "the professor of the year" will be revealed.
