Engineers Week Social

In celebration of the 2024 Engineers Week, TCNJ XE members held a bridge building competition on 2/21/24. The task was to bridge a gap of 6 in with 12 straws and 2 ft of tape, in an attempt to take the largest number of jelly beans and win the coveted Krstic Cup! Congratulations go to our seniors Dora Krstic, Jill Stanton, Josh Romero and Mackenzie Bosland for not only supporting the entire jelly bean load, but also a steel manual! Juniors Daniel Schiariti, David Cardenas, Kate Neal and Ethan Moyer came in second, and seniors Erin Swierczyna and Julie Stone came in third.
