WIT Preliminary Competition

WIT held their Preliminary Industrial Control and Electrical Installations Competitions in the Applied Technology Building on 29th January 2010. 6 competitors competed in the Electrical Installations Competitions while we had 3 competitors in the Industrial Control. The Electrical Installations Competition was co-ordinated by Pascal Kavanagh, while I (David Williams) looked after the Industrial Control Competition. Special thanks to Malachy and Larry for all of their hard work in preparing for the competition and putting the workshop back together afterwards. Thanks also to Pat Doyle (HOD) for his support and to all the Lecturers and students who dropped in for a look around during the competition.
