KENNESAW, Ga. | Oct 9, 2017

KSU's Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) student chapter recently attended the 2017 MCAA Great Futures Forum in Indianapolis September 28 - 30.

The Forum was truly an incredible experience for the students, who were so thankful for the opportunity to network with other students and professionals from all over the country. They were also introduced to new technologies being utilized in the field in relation to MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) specialties. 

The student group participated in a mini-competition, which gave them the opportunity to put their skills and knowledge to the test as a team. While attending the Forum, the team also participated in a career fair, visited the NCAA Museum and attended serval lectures from professionals that gave the students an insight into what it would be like to work for a mechanical contractor and learn about where the industry and related technology is headed.

KSU's MCAA team will compete in the Student Chapter Competition at the 2018 MCAA Convention in San Antonio, TX March 25 - 29, where the challenge will be to plan a project involving the renovation of the mechanical systems of a Brazilian restaurant in mid-town New York City—Fogo De Chao Steakhouse.
