Teams of up to four students present their innovative design or product idea to a panel of judges. These designs are to be prepared before the competition and can involve any discipline of engineering. Judges will base their evaluations of the designs on technical value, functionality, and marketability. Additionally, the designs will be displayed in an exposition area open to all competition attendees. | Teams of up to four students present their innovative design or product idea to a panel of judges.

Teams of four students compete against each other to design and offer the best solution to a large-scale engineering problem. Social, economic, environmental and political aspects of the solution have to be considered in presentations to the judges, who represent potential clients. Although the solution comprises the major portion of the team’s score, the report and presentation collectively are important. | Teams of four students compete against each other to design and offer the best solution to a large-scale engineering problem.
