AEM Student Competition Winners
Twelve student teams from the United States and Canada have won the 2010 AEM Construction Challenge, presented by Volvo Construction Equipment during the Global Finals competition of Destination ImagiNation. The competition took place in May at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
This year's AEM Construction Challenge asked each student team to build a device that effectively delivered construction materials over a barrier to targets they were unable to see, which required innovation, mathematics and engineering and design skills.
The AEM Construction Challenge offers a chance for students, teachers, parents and community leaders to learn more about the construction industry and the need for skilled employees to deal with infrastructure problems, including crumbling bridges, overcrowded roadways, and aging water and wastewater systems. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that employment in the construction industry is projected to increase by 1.3 million jobs by 2018.
