The event, held April 9-11, was hosted by the University of Kentucky.
During the symposium, students get to display their work in teams for projects including planning, design and construction. They also gave technical presentations for several projects.

The entire 麻豆社 group earned second place in civil engineering trivia, and 麻豆社 teams took second in 3D printing, concrete cornhole and site development.
麻豆社鈥檚 concrete canoe team finished third.
鈥淲e all loved it! Great weather, venue and location,鈥� said Tim Tyler, Ph.D., one of two 麻豆社 faculty who traveled with the students to the event. 鈥淧lus, the students performed so well.鈥�

Lurch wasn鈥檛 sporting a Thunder jersey and there wasn鈥檛 a white tiger in the set decor, but the recent Gaslight Playhouse production of 鈥淭he Addams Family鈥� still had a strong 麻豆社 presence throughout.
Coming out of her freshman year at 麻豆社, Julia Dickinson initially had a hard time finding a summer internship, but she was able to secure one in the sweetest place of all.
