Opus College of Engineering meets Food Network Students assemble their best cake designs to be judged By Bailey Striepling

If you looked into the Discovery Learning Center Thursday night, you might have seen students running around with frosting and food coloring covering their hands rushing to decorate cakes, and you might have wondered what was going on. For the first time, Engineering Cake Wars was featured in the events of Engineers Week 2022. E-Week, sponsored by the Engineering Student Council, is part of a national celebration to honor the many ways engineers make a difference through their profession. “We like to provide some fun for everyone because we

know they work really hard,” Tori Radermacher, president of Engineering Student Council and a senior in the College of Engineering, said. Sarah Ernst and Shahd Sawalhi, vice presidents of Engineers Week and seniors in the College of Engineering, were inspired by baking competition shows to create an engineering styled “Cake Wars” for this year’s E-Week. “We are both very big fans of ‘The Great British Bake Off’ and so we thought ‘What if we do a bake-off’ but there’s no ovens in E-hall so we thought a decorating contest would be fun,” Ernst said. Teams were given one hour to decorate their cakes. They were provided with a cake, frosting, sprinkles and food coloring but what’s the catch? They had to 3D print or use engineering technology to create their own tools prior to the competition.

Cakes were judged by members of the Marquette community, including the dean of the College of Engineering

“I think it was really cool to see people inside and outside of engineering use their creativity in a new way,” Ernst said. Cakes were judged by five categories: overall appearance, innovative tools, innovative decoration, team collaboration

and presence of an engineering or Marquette theme. The competition was judged by Kristina Ropella, dean of the College of Engineering, Mark Federle, associate dean for academic affairs and Ben

Correia-Harker, associate director of engineering and innovative leadership development. “It was nice to be able to do an event around design and engineering that isn’t the

UW system outgoing President Tommy Thompson cited a decline in COVID-19 cases across Wisconsin and student vaccination rates as justification for the move. However, UW-Milwaukee has not followed the lead of its UW school system counterparts. The university has not announced a date for the removal of its mask requirement, even though the City of Milwaukee’s

Across Wisconsin, students and faculty will have the option to take off their masks next month as mask mandates across the state and at University of Wisconsin system schools expire. UW-Green Bay will no longer require masks beginning March 1. UW-Madison will not
