So they've got a time schedule, a money schedule, they got an engineering schedule, they use collaboration," said Michael Wehrenberg, a judge of the competition. "The whole environment is really trying to get the students to think and start realizing what it's like to work in the business world."The competition wraps up Saturday.<
