Members of the College of DuPage Engineering Club recently raced cardboard boats in the P.E. Center swimming pool. In the week leading up to the event, club members honed their design skills and knowledge of buoyancy and dynamics to construct the best watercraft. The rules of the competition include three roles of duct tape and as much cardboard as the teams can obtain to create a viable boat for a relay race.
Coast Guard Academy cadets present designs ranging from medical devices designed to prevent pressure ulcer complications to propulsion shaft anti-roll bars designed for use on a heavy icebreaker such as the Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star for the Mechanical Engineering department’s capstone projects, April 26, 2017.
These designs not only provide cadets with a solid set of skills, which can be utilized in the fleet, but also could make positive impacts on individuals outside of the Coast Guard.

In its 22nd year, the Engineering Expo is the college’s premier community outreach event. On average, the college welcomes more than 1,500 K-12 students from Miami-Dade and Broward County schools (elementary, middle, and high school) to the FIU Engineering Center to engage with FIU student organizations, researchers and staff, and to discover the endless possibilities of pursuing a degree in engineering or computing.
The Class of 2012 for the College of Engineering graduated as in one Commencement ceremony Saturday, May 12, a first thanks to the new 7,000-seat College Park Center.
I can only image that it was a sad day in the City of Victoria department of Engineering.
They had received an e-mail notifying them that I had posted unflattering comments on Facebook about the pathetic bicycle “lanes” the city had been installing and maintaining for the last decade, and their egos were apparently crushed.
The issue of the way2narrow bike lanes was no surprise. I had discovered this issue many years ago when volunteering on the Victoria Cycling Advisory Committee, and it was just as oddly unpopular back then as it is now. Was I shattering some entrenched engineering dogma that destroyed people’s faith and will to live? No, I’d just discovered that Victoria – the self-acclaimed “Cycling Capitol of Canada” – had been installing bike lanes far narrower than industry accepted guidelines minimum allowable widths.
How my discovery of this fact angered and offended so many, I will never know.
How my right to well-deserved indignation was dismissed as rude rantings can only be explained by ignorance and a misplaced loyalty toward our engineering department.
Those angered by my fight to raise awareness of this true safety issue were unwittingly championing the cause for inadequate bicycle infrastructure while dismissing the efforts and study put forth by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) and other agencies that developed the safety guidelines our city dismisses.
I didn’t know that my words were so impactful on their egos, especially since I done this song and dance before and they seemingly chose to ignore my warnings.
I had been having a needlessly difficult time accessing the industry standards for bike lane widths that the city keeps guarded, but ignored. Misdirection and un-returned phone messages were wasting my time, but a phone call to the Mayor’s office solved my problems.
I was given an appointment to access the documents, but when I arrived, the city engineering technician’s pout could be seen dragging a cloud over his stern face, and the look of disappointment was reminiscent of a big-eyed puppy’s on a velvet painting being sold from the back of a boogie van on the corner of an abandoned gas station in the late seventies.
I knew I was going to be reprimanded, and I was. He was hurt, even though he had no say over the way2narrow bike lanes his bosses had been installing, but somehow my displeasure with my city’s unconscionably and purposely inadequate cycling infrastructure was seen as a personal affront.
I tried to fit my apologies in between the lecture I was receiving on hurt feelings – only because I wanted to access the documents, but really, all I was thinking was, “Grow up, Dude.”
I don’t think he grasped the fact that I was a taxpayer, he worked for me, and his department is doing a lousy job of installing my bicycle infrastructure. He was being paid but I was doing this on my own time because the Engineering department doesn’t give a crap about cyclist safety – yet he was hurt and I was supposed to be the bad guy.
He finally had repeated his lecture so many times that all he had left in the end was a whimper, “We do the best we can with the narrow roads we have.”
…as though that made Victoria’s way2narrow bike lanes okay.
Why was this guy angry with me; after his department was doing such a poor job; after giving me the incorrect information that forced me to navigate the bureaucracy to come back again; after ignoring my phone message?
I don’t think he has a firm grasp on the concepts of civil and customer service. I know he didn’t understand that it was me who had the right to be indignant; I was, after all, only in there because they were not doing their jobs, and because Victoria cycling advocates were falling asleep behind their handlebars. There were other things I’d rather be doing, but he didn’t get it.
After all was said and done, my quick run through the TAC guidelines confirmed what I knew, the City of Victoria, without rational explanation or supporting study, is completely ignoring safety guidelines for cycling infrastructure. No matter how anyone immorally tries to spin that, it ain’t good and it ain’t safe.
Many Victoria cycling advocates are being disingenuous when they claim that bike lanes built way2narrow are safe. What agenda could possibly drive cycling “advocates” to claim that ignoring industry safety standards is good for cyclists?
Kendall Baker taking part in Building and Racing a Sailboat workshop on the second day of Xplore Engineering on North Campus on Friday, July 1, 2022, in Ann Arbor.
In the workshop students constructed their own small wooden sailboat which they then got to race in the Lurie Reflecting Pool. They were given time to determine if their models would sink or float and how to make adjustments to utilize the wind for maximum speed.

www.stvincent.edu | Photos of Saint Vincent College’s 14th annual Pasta Bridge Engineering Contest for local high school students. The competition aims to increase the awareness of high school students about the role engineering plays in their lives and the career opportunities in the field while providing an opportunity for students to collaborate on the design and construction of bridges in a fun and engaging way.
Competitors will include students representing nine local high schools: Apollo Ridge, Franklin Regional, Greensburg Central Catholic, Greensburg Salem, Hempfield Area, Jeannette, Norwin, Penn-Trafford and Yough.
The event is co-sponsored by the Carbone family, DeLallo Italian Marketplace, Pantalone Funeral Home, Michael Baker International, Gibson-Thomas Engineering, The Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania – The International Bridge Conference, Kennametal, Mine Safety Authority (MSA) and Saint Vincent College’s Herbert W. Boyer School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Computing.
