Goals & Objectives: Professional Communication Arts Enterprise is Michigan Tech's Communication, Design, and Media Enterprise.

Our areas of expertise include writing, documentation, media development, organizational communication, and design research, theory, and production.

The FIRST Robotics Competition is an international competition that brings together experts and young people to solve an engineering design problem. In 2003 the competition will reach more than 20,000 students on over 800 teams in 24 competitions. The local team is one of a small minority that rely on college students, not professional engineers, to coach the high school participants. Read more via Tech Topics.

The Pavement Design, Construction and Materials Enterprise entered the competition for a second time (2004) and once again won the state and national competition. All the students are different than the first year (2003).

This is quite an accomplishment: two for two!
