Which competition(s) are you interested in directorship for? *

Re-engineering (students will be required to apply the re-engineering process to an existing gadget or mechanism in order to add new functionality to it or enhance its original functionality.)

Programming (The goal of the programming category is to encourage engineering students to produce a piece of readable software)

Engineering Communications (The goal of this competition is to describe an engineering topic (i.e. process, product, device, issue) in terms that the general public can understand)

Innovative Design (Competitors choose their own topic, prepare research and develop a design. The designs must be new and innovative and address a void in society)

Junior Design (This competition challenges junior engineering students to design and build a prototype to address a technical problem)

Consulting Engineering (The purpose of the Consulting Engineering competition is to challenge competitors to design a detailed solution to a large-scale engineering problem. The proposal must be made in a way that promotes the solution to the client (in the form of judges))
