Jones attended the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) Conference

2017 Nov 28

Tristan Jones represented the Iowa State University Industrial Technology (ITech) Club at the annual Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) Conference.

Members of the club's robotics team earned third place overall and first place in the People's Choice competition. This event is a highlight of the student portion of the conference. Designing a robot challenges the team's engineering skills to design, develop, test and compete. This year's competition had nine teams from across the country. Winners are determined by points acquired through a technical report, a group presentation, completing an obstical course, and competing in a cornhole challenge.

Iowa State had a powerful presence at the conference. Jones was one of 11 industrial technology undergraduate students from Iowa State to attend the conference with club adviser Tamara Kerns, eight graduate students and several faculty from the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.
