Participating students gain hands-on experience that goes far beyond the classroom—designing for load, failure, and manufacturability while receiving feedback from industry experts at companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Shimadzu. You'll build a portfolio-ready project, compete for cash awards, and showcase your work on a global stage alongside professionals shaping the future of advanced manufacturing. It's a rare opportunity to test your ideas, grow your network, and prove your engineering skills where they matter most.
