All competitions are open to undergraduate students. Competitions provide the opportunity to compete against other Region 5 teams, develop technical skill, and promote your university. The competitions are designed to encourage critical thinking, technical writing, and project management.
Please note that some of the competitions have size limitations and so may require early registrations for all team members.
