The goal is to see who can best \u0022deliver\u0022 on time and cost. The project is the brainchild of Dr. John Bartholdi, who has been running the contest since 2003. The event is usually held in the Spring, but was moved to the Fall for 2009. . . .The packages contained Georgia Tech-logoed materials; in addition, the packages sent to Mongolia had some food and other supplies for local charities.  \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.scdigest.com\/assets\/On_Target\/09-11-04-1.php?cid=2908\u0022\u003ERead more\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27279","created_gmt":"2009-11-09 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:06:22","author":"Barbara Christopher","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2009-11-09T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2009-11-09T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"57458","name":"ISyE External News"}],"categories":[{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EBarbara Christopher\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndustrial and Systems Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=bt3\u0022\u003EContact Barbara Christopher\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404.385.3102\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["bchristopher@isye.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
