Mississippi State University aerospace engineering students, l-r, Will Barksdale of Pascagoula, Vanessa Aubuchon of Ocean Springs, Jennifer Esper of LaPlace, La., and Rod Fleming of Rocky Mount, N.C., won the "Engineering Bedlam" event Wednesday during National Engineers Week activities. Riding in the bed on wheels but mostly obscured by a Teddy Bear is fellow aerospace engineering student Jutima Simsiriwong of Houston, Miss. Teams from MSU's Bagley College of Engineering had to design and construct a mobile bed, then compete in an obstacle-course race.
