2010 E-Week Banquet

Was held Thursday February 18, 2010 at the DuPont Country Club

Delaware Engineering Community Members,

On behalf of the E-week Banquet Planning Committee and the Delaware Engineering Society, I would like to thank all of those who attended last month's 2010 Engineers Week Banquet and supported the DES scholarship fund.

If you were not able to attend, here is some of what you missed:

Also, United States Senators Ted Kaufman and Tom Carper were in attendance and spoke along with several other State of Delaware dignitaries. Many of these guests and Dr. Chajes spoke, but the message was the same. We need to grow our engineers of the future and invest in them. All of this cannot be done without the continued support of the engineering community here in Delaware.

2009 Delaware MATHCOUNTS State Competition Winners

MathCounts™

The State MathCOUNTS competition was held on March 26, 2009. Students from 12 different Delaware middle schools attended. The day-long competition consisted of individual and team rounds, with students answering a variety of math questions. The top scoring students then competed in a head-to- head round of solving problems to see who will come out as the overall State winners.

This year, the winning team was from H.B. DuPont, coached by Ms. Jeanette Otley.

The top individual scorers were (all from HB DuPont):
  • 1st place – Edward Li
  • 2nd place – Uthsav Chitra
  • 3rd place – Matthew Lan
  • 4th place – Jason Lui

These 4 “mathletes” traveled to the National MathCOUNTS competition held May 8, 2009 in Orlando, Florida.

Many thanks go out to Meghan Lester of Geo-Technology Associates, who coordinated the program, and to the 20 professional and U of D student volunteers who helped to make the events run smoothly.

If you are interested in participating as a volunteer in next year’s program, or if you know of a middle school that would like to get involved, please contact
