NOMINATIONS
SECOND ANNUAL
DOMESDAY A SMASHING
SUCCESS
Eleven teams from eight different schools came to
MS&T15 this year to compete in the 2nd annual ASM Geo-
desic Dome Design Competition, DomesDay. Virginia Tech’s
VT Composites Team won first place with $1000. Virginia
Tech’s Metals Team came in second, winning $750. Third
place went to the Sun Devil Dome from Arizona State, with
$500. Teams were judged based on an elevator speech, aes-
thetics, and mechanical strength, the last of which saw the
dome being compression tested in front of a live audience
on the convention floor.
DomesDay was established in 2014 by the ASM Stu-
dent Board Members. It is intended to familiarize Material
Advantage students with a piece of ASM culture, the Dome,
by involving them in a design and materials selection com-
petition. For more information, visit
pecial thanks to our
sponsors, NSL Analytical and MTS.
