UMBC took 26 students to the Fall Regional 2 Conference “Engineering a Global Impact,” which was held in Greensboro, NC November 20-22, 2009. Two of UMBC’s teams placed 5th and 6th place, with Natée Johnson (Mechanical Engineering) and Jasmine Jones (Computer Science) tying for third place in the research exhibition. Natée will be moving on to compete nationally at the end of March. The step team placed a very close second.
