A team of engineering students from UBC’s Okanagan campus took first place at the Western Engineering Competition 2012 in Calgary recently.
The team of Clifford Gilker, Devyn Farr, Patrick Finch and Phillip Batt took first place in the Senior Design category. The team was faced with a simulated oil spill to deal with and they had eight hours to come up with a budget for the material they would need, a presentation on their plan and a method for removing the ‘oil’ from water’s surface.
