Penny Wars

2nd Annual Penny Wars competition between the individual schools of engineering. Hosted last year as part of the Mechanical Engineering Recess Revival. Proceeds go to the United Way.

Penny war rules are based on coins being worth positive points, bills being worth an equivalent amount of negative points – i.e. a dime is 10 points, a five dollar bill is -500 points. The winning discipline receives the rotating trophy currently housed in the Mechanical Engineering building. 


Hosted by the Mechanical Engineering Ambassadors

Scavenger Hunt

This is a campus-wide scavenger hunt promoting Purdue Engineering. In the spirit of engineering, there will be teams of 4-6 individuals representing either engineering schools (including First Year Engineering) or various organizations on campus, depending on the overall structure of the E-Week competition.

It will incorporate E-week events sponsored by other organizations, clues to help lead participants to complete fun tasks associated with Engineering or Purdue, and other activities, which may include team-building projects or community service. Each activity will have a certain number of points associated with it. At the end of the week, awards will be given to the teams with the most points.


Hosted by Society of Women Engineers

Cookout

Open to all students, faculty, and staff.  Pi Tau Sigma and ASME will provide the food, tent, grill, etc. The SAE/Baja Club will have their car on the lawn and will be conducting a ‘pit crew challenge’ activity where students change a tire on the car as quickly as possible. There will be a trophy for the fastest student; the fastest time from each engineering school will receive a certificate.

Hosted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Pi Tau Sigma, and the BAJA Car Team

Bed Races

This is a fun, competitive, and physically and mentally challenging race. Students will race in teams using a bed, provided by PESC, as their vehicle, as they navigate through the obstacle course. Teams will race in heats, two at a time, and the overall shortest time dictates the winner.
