MCAA Student Competition Industry Feedback Session

Kansas State University and Pittsburg State University’s MCAA Student Chapters are preparing for the MCAA National Student Competition, and they need your expertise.

This year’s project focuses on cogeneration and wastewater. Both teams are working hard to earn a spot in the Final Four in 2027, and your real-world insights could make a real difference in the quality of their final proposals.

Here’s how the afternoon is structured:

?? Kansas State University | 2:00–3:30 PM
Presentation followed by open feedback

?? Pittsburg State University | 3:30–5:00 PM
Presentation followed by open feedback

Whether you have 20 minutes or the full three hours, your feedback is valuable. We’re especially looking for expertise in cogeneration, wastewater, and service, but all perspectives are welcome.

A few important things to keep in mind:

This is an active competition. Students are still refining their proposals, which are due in early December. Please keep feedback and information from each session separate — nothing shared in one group’s session should make its way to the other team.

Snacks and drinks will be available at the office throughout the afternoon.

Preparatory materials will be sent to all registrants ahead of the session so you can come ready to contribute.
