Team Bananas earns top honors at SCUDEM 2021
Team "Bananas” presented a solution to solve "Problem C: Submitted a Tweet, Now What?" in the SCUDEM VI 2021 competition, bringing home top honors.
Team members were:
- John Laporte, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology & Bioengineering track;
- Max Bobbin, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering & Sustainability track
- Catherine Wraback, Chemical Engineering, Traditional track
The team worked on their solution to the problem between 23 October 2021, when the problems were released, and 14 November when the videos were submitted. See the team's approach to solving this problem via YouTube. During this time, team members successfully managed their academic responsibilities with this and other co-curricular activities, including the National AICHE Jeopardy competition.
The team received the highest rating of 'Outstanding' for their solution for Problem C. They were one of eight who received this rating among the 26 submissions for Problem C. Only 26 teams received outstanding marks among all 106 participating teams during this year’s competition.
SCUDEM — SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling is a 3-student group modeling challenge that runs over multiple days culminating in a 10 minute video which is reviewed by at least 3 judges. Teams and Coaches may meet remotely. Team submissions are judged to meet one of three outcomes: Outstanding, Meritorious, or Successful.
This is the third year CBEE students participated in the SCUDEM competition. Two teams participated in 2020, both earning a Meritorious rating. In 2019, three teams from CBEE participated at the in-person event at Bowie State and swept the podium (read more).

CBEE students sweep the podium at SCUDEM IV
Triple CONGRATULATIONS are in order! Our teams took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place after competing in SCUDEM IV! Our competitors (alphabetical order): Chris Ashby, Nicholas Balasus, Nick Griffin, Brendan Sudol, Noor Talib, Neil Tran, Bradon Qiu, Alex von Gunten, and Cindy Ye.
SCUDEM IV 2019 - SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equation Modeling is an international team challenge event with faculty development program. SCUDEM IV 2019 is open to high school and undergraduate students.
SCUDEM IV 2019 is sponsored by SIMIODE Systemic Initiative for Modeling Investigations and Opportunities with Differential Equations, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, devoted to supporting the use of modeling to motivate and teach differential equations. SIMIODE is funded by the United States’ National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education.
This event took place just this past week, involving a week-long "hackathon." It culminated with teams of three students submitting an executive summary of their work, working on a new question with the model they proposed and presenting the model and new scenario to a panel of judges at Bowie State.
Thank you to Dr. Frey for sharing the competition and keeping the ball running.
Thank you to Dr. Raikar for volunteering to be the coach that attended the competition with the students this past Saturday. This past Friday (11/8), Dr. Das, Dr. Frey, Dr. Szeto, Dr. Raikar, and Dr. Castellanos were able to get a preview from the students, thank you for sharing your time!
We cannot but be proud of our students for taking on the challenge and participating and of course - then bringing back not a win but three!
