WYSE Competition at SIC

Clubs & Competitive Teams//Events//General
February 6, 2015

Over 140 high school students from the area met on the campus of Southeastern Illinois College Thursday, Feb. 5, to take a series of regional exams as part of the Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering (WYSE) academic competition.

Exams administered during the three levels of WYSE competition are designed to test students’ knowledge of biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering graphics, English, math, and physics.

Jason Fitzgerald, chair of the Math and Science Division at the college, along with Dr. Mila Maring-Sims, anatomy and physiology instructor at SIC and regional WYSE director, hosted the event.

“The WYSE completion is such an important event for the area high school students because it allows them to broaden their knowledge base in math and science areas,” said Fitzgerald. “This event also provides them with a means for socializing with like-minded individuals from surrounding schools and introduces them to some of the excellent math and science faculty that we have at SIC.”

Fitzgerald noted that many of the Math & Science Club students who volunteered their time to help with the event are former WYSE participants and they look forward to the time when they can again be part of the WYSE competition by proctoring and grading exams, handing out awards, and helping out in any way.

“It seems like just yesterday I was taking the biology and English exams myself”, exclaimed SIC sophomore and biology major, Meredith Wolf of Harrisburg. “Those of us in SIC’s Math and Science Club want to see those high school students do so well on all of the subject exams and experience success like we did. It was great to partake in this ‘academic Olympics’ of sorts, to see some familiar faces, and hopefully those students will join us at Southeastern in the future!”

Regional winners, both in team and individual competition, qualify for sectional exams, which will be held March 11 at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). Illinois state finals are scheduled for April 13-16 at the Illini Union, University of Illinois Urbana campus in Champaign. The 300 division (or small school division) will compete on the thirteenth and the 700 division will compete on the fourteenth.

Team and individual results are listed below. Teams marked with an asterisk move on to the sectional competition at SIUC, and individuals marked with an asterisk, who are not members of an advancing team, are allowed to take the sectional exams as individual competitors.
