Projects
competing to make a difference
Race to Build
For ten years, Race to Build has been far more than a construction competition. It has been a movement that brings together collegiate construction management programs from across the country to serve Appalachian families while inspiring the next generation of servant leaders.
Hands-on-Learning
Concrete Bowling
As part of a lesson in a Construction and Materials Testing course led by Emmeline Watson, the students spent the last few weeks of the semester designing, crafting and testing concrete bowling balls. The project aimed to give students hands-on experience with fiber-reinforced concrete, while also sparking creativity in engineering design and testing.
Signature Experience
Sheds for Hope
Giving students hands-on construction experience building full-scale structures that benefit the community, integrating industry collaboration and applied learning to support local nonprofits while developing technical and professional skills.
Fall Project
