Hands-On Engineering Experience

Where engineering gets real

Competition teams help students move beyond the classroom by designing, building, testing, presenting, and competing with projects that require technical skill, communication, leadership, and teamwork.

Apply Classroom Knowledge

Students use engineering fundamentals, design software, fabrication methods, testing procedures, and problem-solving skills to take ideas from concept to competition.

Build Your Resume

Competition teams give students project experience they can talk about in interviews, portfolios, graduate school applications, and conversations with industry partners.

Work Across Disciplines

Teams often need students with interests in design, manufacturing, coding, testing, project management, marketing, fundraising, and communications.
