Where Can I find Engineering design challenges ?

Hi All

Do you know websites that put competitions and challenges of designs from different companies more often with awards ? on design of mechanical elements to finite element analysis ...etc ?

RE: Where Can I find Engineering design challenges ?

Electrolux's Design Lab has been holding some design challenges/competitions. Is this what you are referring to?

GrabCAD publishes design challenges regularly, which usually involve a cash award of some kind.

Check NASA's website as they seem to have design competetions.

Not finding them at work?

RE: Where Can I find Engineering design challenges ?

Participating in eng-tips can be a major challenge, but unfortunately there are no prizes or financial gains to be had.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

RE: Where Can I find Engineering design challenges ?

recently i saw GrabCAD has something going on their website.

RE: Where Can I find Engineering design challenges ?

LCform:
It would really appear that writing meaningful and full sentences is quite a challenge for you. Try proof reading what you write, from the perspective of someone who has no idea what you are talking about or thinking, and see if it still makes any sense. Then rewrite it until it does make sense to the audience you are trying to reach. Try doing the job you are being paid to do, competently and well, that could be quite a challenge for you too. I agree with TheTick on that account.

@dhenger : 1- I don't know if the basis of your judgement was only this post, If you think writing meaningful is really a challenge for me, I invite you to read my other posts and then give your idea

2- at least 3 or 4 people understood correctly and responded appropriately, So I don't think there is such gross problem but I would apply changes on the question if I could

3- Try not to be mean, and what I do at work does not relate to what I do as a hobby, I don't think that it's relevant to what you ask here

RE: Where Can I find Engineering design challenges ?

Here is a NASA site along with similar ones on the same web page and if you are truly interested in engineering design competition.
NASA - Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate

*NASA Systems Engineering Award Sponsored in conjunction with the SAE Aero Design competition, this award invites SAE entrants to apply systems engineering
