🐾Spot the Catabot has a new home, and Sarge’s Animal Rescue has five new doghouses! Teams of construction management students showcased the incredible doghouses they designed and built this fall for our Boston Dynamics Spot robot dog using sustainable, mold- and pest-resistant materials donated by Eco-Panels. One doghouse will stay at WCU as Spot’s new home—complete with temperature and light sensors and a fan system designed and built by a team of electrical and computer engineering technology students! The other five doghouses will be donated to Sarge’s to help real pups in need. We’re so proud of our students and grateful to our partners for making this “pawsome” event possible! Thanks to our judges including representatives Charles Leahy from Eco-Panels, Debbie Cole from Boston Dynamics and Windy McKinney, PhD and Emily Trigin from Sarge's Animal Rescue for taking on the difficult task of interviewing and selecting winning teams: SPOT DOGHOUSE DESIGN WINNING TEAM Scott Alligood Jr., Spencer Dunning, Styler Lee, Audrey Lewis, and Kevin Sanchez SARGE’S ANIMAL RESCUE DOGHOUSE DESIGN WINNING TEAM Kionna Bowles, Sascha Medina, Jonathan Newsome and Maggie Whelan ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY WINNING TEAM Andrew McCoy and Marcus Milliron Special thanks also to Dr. Chris Cox, Dr. Adam Harris and Jason Ottie with Technology of Instructional Engineering Systems for leading the project, which ties in with the meaningful work of the WCU Center for Community Engagement & Service Learning.
