[esoring]

good job fellas.. your burger machine worked really good.. oh wait nevermind, you touched it 9 times

[koonkii]

you're trying too hard

[GalacticCabaret2]

Hoosiers!

[nickmanc86]

Im not sure I would want to take 4-5 years and hundresds of thousands of dollars in a an engineering degree to be the #1 goldberg builder

[cawpin]

It doesn't cost hundreds of thousands to get an engineering degree. It CAN cost that much but isn't even close to required. I went through Purdue for ~$8000.

[nickmanc86]

This is true , I am going to McGill for 3k a year but I mean in general !

[cawpin]

Ah, ok. You'd be surprised how seriously companies take this contest. Also, I meant $8k total, not per year.

[nickmanc86]

I will have to keep that in mind !

[orb90orb90]

In 1957?

[cawpin]

I'm assuming you're talking about my tuition. No, I graduated in 2002, starting in 1998. I'm from Indiana so I got in state tuition and my mom works there so I got 51% off and 20% off books.

[orb90orb90]

Okok, special circumstances, though.

[mpmcd81]

An engineering degree should take 4-5years to complete, but even at Vanderbilt with the total cost of attendance around $40k per year if you pay the full sticker price of tuition it should not cost more than $200,000 at the top end. But for most people, even Vanderbilt is priced competitively with a (very outstanding) school like Purdue. These kinds of projects are stress relievers for undergrads, but help them develop nice professional skills. They are meant to be fun.

Funny how the "best engineers" come up with the most inefficient ways of doing things :D

[cawpin]

That's the point of the contest.

[abasanti]

[GalacticCabaret2]
