COMPETE. First-year DeMatteis engineering students participate in the Grand Design Challenge, an annual competition designed to help students develop durable skills that will prove useful when they become practicing engineers. The Make-a-Thon/Hack-a-Thon, held every semester, is an all-night event that gives students the opportunity to engage in special hands-on activities, including 3D printing, basic electronics, and robotics, as well as a coding competition in which teams create games and apps that benefit the campus community.
