3rd Annual Synergis Student Competitions are Open!

November 14, 2012 by Leave a comment


Synergis is having its 3rd Annual Student Competition with Architecture and Mechanical categories! The architecture theme this year is adaptive reuse of an existing main street shop into a children’s museum. The mechanical category is based on the Pennsylvania F1 competition. We are only judging entries submitted to us and will focus on design from creative and functional aspects.

The competition is currently open to anyone in K-12th grade.  So pass this along to kids or your friend’s kids to enter! Prizes include cash awards and acknowledgement at Synergis University 2013 next June.

I’m hoping to get them to introduce a Civil Engineering category next year as well as add an age group for university students! What do you think?

Here are some entries from last year to peak your interest…

About Kevin
Hi… Please see my LinkedIn profile for complete experience history. If you’re completely lost about what a LinkedIn profile might be, here’s the “quick to the slow” version (my apologies to Dr Seuss fans): Graduated in 1991 during a economic slow time for Engineering firms. I began work life as a Critical Areas Planner in Salisbury, MD. I soon moved to New Jersey in 1993 to marry and began work at a small firm (less than 10 people) called Schindelar & Associates. When it felt as though that firm wasn’t going to last, i accepted a position at Schoor DePalma (which was CMX and is now part of Birdsall) in 1996. Then I moved to ACT Engineers from burnout at Schoor DePalma. I would’ve stayed at ACT but decided to be closer to my ill mother and moved to Delaware and began work at Becker Morgan in 2004. Sadly both the job and mom did not last long and moved back north to be near my wife’s parents and ended up at Horizon Engineering in 2005. Out of the blue in 2006, an old contact who happened to be the owner of Microsol Resources, contacted me about coming to work for him. I was nervous to leave the practice behind. But i did and enjoyed my time there. That time came to an end when I became an economic statistic. With what can only be described as an act of God, I received and accepted a job offer in less than a month to work for KlingStubbins. This past winter KlingStubbins was acquired by Jacobs Engineering. As a result of what is apparently cost cutting measures at Jacobs, I began working for Synergis Technologies as a Civil Solutions Engineer doing a bit of everything, ranging from support and training to customization and consulting for Autodesk’s civil engineering related applications.
