The ASME Student Design Competition provides a platform for ASME Student Members to present their solutions to a range of design problems, from everyday household tasks to groundbreaking space exploration. Each team is required to design, construct, and operate a prototype meeting the requirements of an annually determined problem statement. Student Design Competitions are at ASME’s global E-Fests (Engineering Festivals). E-Fests are a three-day, two-night regional event built around design, advanced manufacturing, and robotics technologies. They enable engineering students to expand their knowledge, test and showcase new skills, and inspire innovation.
