| WEIGHT WATCHERS
. . . |
 |
| For their final Freshman
Seminar project, 100 mechanical engineering students formed teams
to build scales--using only edible materials--capable of weighing
small objects. Finalists (from left) Chris Mergler, Brian Cameron
and Kelly Rutan used pretzel rods, licorice laces and rice cakes.
Other competitors used sourdough bread, chocolate bars, graham
crackers and even macaroni. The teams were judged on the accuracy
of their devices, not their culinary attributes. |
