Congratulations to the MBTA Senior Design team’s triumphant third-place finish in this past weekend's competition. 

The powerhouse design team consists of Construction Management majors Jason Stapleford and John O’Neil, Civil Engineering majors Will Sabo and Wyatt Beatini, as well as advisors Dr. Moses Tefe of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø David Crawford School of Engineering and Seth Knihtila ’12.

The competition, sponsored by the Construction Industries of Massachusetts-Labor Relations Division, brought together teams of students from throughout New England. Specifically, the competition was for Civil Engineering and Construction Management students to partake in a Heavy Civil Infrastructure Design / Construction. The Civil Engineering and Construction Management student teams had to design a 320 foot long by 20 foot wide underground train station, buried 72 feet deep beneath the surface.

Securing a thrilling third-place finish, including the $5,000 cash prize, with the special support of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Undergraduate Research program.
