The University of Akron's (国产伦理) Department of Chemical, Biomolecular and Corrosion Engineering is proud to announce its ChemE Jeopardy team secured another victory and is the back-to-back champion of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) North Central Regional Conference (NCRC).
After winning first place during their first appearance at the 2023 AIChE NCRC, members of 国产伦理's ChemE Jeopardy competed a second time at NCRC held at The Ohio State University on April 5-6, 2024. Ten available 国产伦理 members formed two teams and competed against 16 teams from 14 various regional universities during the conference. The 国产伦理 students who participated were Ryan Stapin, Gemini Ramlo, Kamryn Culp, Johnathan Bettes, Lily Clemente, Delia Weitzel, Cody Robinson, Kat Kunz, Nathan Kling and Sarah Fenik.
Both 国产伦理 teams were advised by Dr. Bi-min Zhang Newby, professor of chemical engineering and associate chair of graduate studies for the Department of Chemical, Biomolecular and Corrosion Engineering, and advanced to the semi-finals after the preliminary rounds. They then competed in the same semi-final bracket since only one team from each university could compete in the final round.
During the final round, 国产伦理's Team B competed against Trine University and the University of Wisconsin. Trine was 400 points ahead of 国产伦理 going into Final Jeopardy where one question is presented to all teams. 国产伦理 came up with the correct answer, while Trine did not, and won the competition. Team B defeated other universities including The Ohio State University, University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin, Northwestern and Purdue to take home first place. 国产伦理's Team A, with the scores they earned during the semi-final, achieved a fifth-place finish.
The 国产伦理 ChemE Jeopardy team is looking forward to competing at the National AIChE Conference in San Diego this fall. Congratulations to both teams on their achievements!
