The final placement for UTC was 4th place in the SouthEastCon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is rewarding to see the effort put forth by these students.\u00a0 The real reward they have obtained is the knowledge and skills that were developed in order to compete at this level,\u201d said Dr. Trevor Elliot, Adjunct Instructor in the UTC College of Engineering and Computer Science.<\/p>\n<p>Elliot says the achievement demonstrates UTC can compete with and beat students from more well-known schools such as FIT, Duke, Tennessee Tech, and Virginia Tech\u2014which Elliot points out placed 6th, 11th, tied at 18th, and tied at 21st respectively, compared to UTC\u2019s 4th place finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis achievement shows the students\u2019 ability to work with other engineering disciplines to create a well-rounded design.\u00a0 This is a compliment to the colleges standing tradition of interdisciplinary design that has provided a means for students to understand other engineering disciplines and how to work with those in other disciplines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The robot was the result of an interdisciplinary design project in the senior design sequence of classes in the College of Engineering &amp; Computer Science.<\/p>\n<p>The 2014 UTC design team included: Bryce Williams (EE), Brain Allsbrooks (EE), Mohammed Alsomali (EE), Laurent Francois (EE), Ronald Lane (ME), Joe Pfeiffer (EE), Cyril Shircel (EE), Joseph Simmons (ME).<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, \u00a0Levi Hereth (CE), Kellie Keith (EE), David Mcpherson (EE), Daniel Membreno (IE), David Myers (EE), Fredrick (Lee) Napier (EE), Charles Wheeler (EE)<b> <\/b>finalized some components of the design, competed, and will be among those who design the 2015 robot:<b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mathew Joplin and Erica Swift are prospective team members for the 2016 robot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecial thanks to Drs.
