TCNJ XE members and candidates celebrated Engineers Week with an Engineering Shark Tank competition. With the motto of “SIR ISAAC NEWTON DIDN’T DISCOVER GRAVITY IN A LAB” students were tasked with making the area surrounding lakes Ceva and Sylva more attractive to the TCNJ community. The Shark Panel consisting of Dr. Krstic (XE Faculty Advisor), Mike Steeil (the one and only), and Steve Loannidis (XE Marshal) had a hard time selecting the winning project among several very innovative proposals. In the end the team consisting of our senior members Matt Nagy, Ethan Moyer, Anthony Giorgy, and Dan Schiariti presented the winning proposal. Their project includes environmental remediation of the lakes and construction of multiple attractions such as party boat access, a zip line, an ice cream station, a bar & grill, and Nabil’s lounge and spa together with a mud bath.
Other teams that participated also presented noteworthy proposals and deserve an honorary mention:
Team Emily, Rebecca, Jasmyn and Kate
Team Joey, Phil and David
Team Zach, Jake and Max
