Prince George, B.C. – A team of four UNBC Environmental Engineering students is celebrating a major victory at the Canadian Engineering Competition at Carleton University in Ottawa.
The UNBC team of Kayden Peters, Stephanie Doherty, Kathleen Horita and Kris Nickerson beat teams from eight other universities across Canada to take home the gold medal in the Junior Design category at the competition. In their category, which was limited to first and second year engineering students, the teams were tasked with removing a set of tin foil clots from a cardboard artery. The teams were given materials to design a solution to the problem, and then had to make a presentation and demonstration of their working physical prototype to the judges.
The UNBC solution was described by the judging panel as very innovative, one that they had not thought of.
The UNBC team will now compete at an International Engineering Competition in Calgary this September.

Lets get them working on how to build a surface in this climate for resisting the formation of potholes.
Congratulations team :)
Now I know who to call when I get a tinfoil clot in my artery.
Congratulations team :)
tell us the solution.
It is being patented as we speak.
