I was very excited to find out yesterday, my graduate students won first place graduate paper at the annual College of Computing, Engineering, and Construction symposium. This was a great win as my students worked very hard on that piece. I was a tad bit embarrassed as I was supposed to be at the awards luncheon, but I totally forgot about it.

Anyway, the symposium was a success. At the actual event, my computer game students alpha tested their products. The purpose of the exercise was to help them understand user testing. I think they received a lot of good feedback as a result of the event.  They certainly won the popularity contest as people crowded around to play their games.
