A Look Back at the 2007 – 2008 Student Chapter
Competition RFP
The Mechanical Contractors Association of America, Inc. (MCAA), through its Career Development Committee, sponsored a competition for its student chapters, culminating in the awards presented at the MCAA2008 convention in March, 2008. Here is a look back at the requirements that the chapters fulfilled to get them to the competition:
The purpose of the competition was to provide chapter members with an experience that would enrich their education by challenging their problem-solving and management skills, technical acumen, creativity, resourcefulness, and knowledge of mechanical systems. Students gained valuable experience in working with a team of peers against a schedule, preparing a written proposal, and planning and delivering an oral presentation of the proposal. The project was based upon an actual project for which competitive proposals were solicited. MCAA adapted the original plans for its 2007-2008 Student Chapter Competition. MCAA extends its sincere appreciation to the J.F. Ahern Company for allowing the use of its project and providing the information and accompanying technical drawings. Special thanks go to James Jarvis and Craig Bahr for their assistance with this competition. Below, we have provided all of the documents related to the project.

All student chapters participating in the competition were encouraged to visit MCAA's new greencontractors.us website for resources on green and sustainable construction which they found helpful for the project. |
