UBMBA、工学部チームがトップを制覇

Yale University, Trinity College, University of Connecticut をはじめとする各大学が優勝を狙う工学とビジネスの大会において、UBチームが大勝利を収めました。

It was championship weekend for University of Bridgeport students, who over the weekend dominated two prestigious and highly competitive business and engineering competitions.

On Saturday, August 9, UB engineering students swept the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Northeast Conference by capturing all top prizes with their research in the fields of robotics, computers, and engineering.

This is the fourth year in a row that UB teams have won the ASEE competition, which is held each spring and organized by regional divisions across the United States.

University of Bridgeport teams vied against Fairfield University, University of New Haven, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and Yale, among other schools in the northeast.

In the ASEE Research Paper Division, UB students Akashy Sheth and Madhav Patil outperformed 33 teams to win first prize for their paper, “Implementation of a Robotic Conveyor Assembly Line with a Vision Camera.” They were advised by engineering professor Yakov Toporovsky.

UB teams also won second and third place, too, and received four honorable mentions.

Top prizes for MBA students

Meanwhile, UB School of Business posted big wins when three teams of MBA students swept the Connecticut Stock Market Game. Held over a ten-week period that concluded on April 29, competitors invested a hypothetical $100,000 with the goal of out-performing each other as well as the overall stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

The Stock Market Game is sponsored by SIFMA Foundation for Investor Education and is held each fall and spring.

Twenty-nine teams from UConn, St. John’s University, Trinity College and other Connecticut campuses competed.

UB’s victories on Friday continued an unbroken streak of finishing among the top three spots in the Stock Market Game since 2004. Moreover, the three UB teams were the only ones to beat the S&P 500 by concluding the ten-week investing period with $113,532, $105,986, and $104,536 in their portfolios.
