The Michigan Tech Asphalt Mix Design Team entered the
Wisconsin Asphalt Pavement Association (WAPA) Competition for the
first time in 2003. The nine undergraduate students in the team, sponsored
by the Pavement Design, Construction, and Materials Enterprise, designed
a Superpave Hot-Mix Asphalt Mixture to meet Wisconsin DOT specifications
with attention to economics, structural properties, and performance
attributes. In addition to sample specimens, the team produced a comprehensive
mix design report and video presentation. The team's efforts secured
a first place finish in the WAPA competition and continued to victory
in the National Competition sponsored by the National Asphalt Pavement
Association. This competition demonstrates the ability of Michigan
Tech students to produce a practical product consistent with industry
standards.
