Hurricane Andrew came aground in South Florida on August 24, 1992. While much of southern Miami-Dade County was leveled, Broward County damage was moderate. BCC's most dramatic damage was at the Tigertail Watersports Complex, where Australian pines crashed onto a trailer.
In 1992, the Tigertail Watersports Center joined with the Center for Business and Industry to establish the Ropes Challenge Course. The course is a series of exercises that help build teamwork and leadership skills as small groups work collaboratively to conquer specific tasks.
The Electronic Engineering Technology program on North Campus has been recognized as of the nation's best and helps meet the needs of employers on South Florida's Silicon Beach. Technology has changed radically since 1992, when this picture was taken.
