MCC-Business & Technology is “Tops"


Students enrolled in Engineering Technology 269 class competed throughout the fall 2009 semester to design the most efficient top.

Students conceived ideas, starting with paper sketches, then created CADD drawings and finally a 3-D prototype in the new MCC-BTC Prototyping Lab. Top designs ranged from traditional cone shapes to tops that incorporated brackets, handles and string pulls. One top resembled a miniature ballerina and another incorporated fireworks.
Chris Page, far left, won the contest with a top spin of 4 minutes 32 seconds.
