Title :
What is the role for collegiate design competitions in a multi-discipline, diverse world?
Abstract :
Collegiate competitions provide a way for University students to gain a multi-discipline and multi-cultural experience while working on a real-world engineering project. These competitions rely on the natural competitive drive of students to force them to move beyond their comfort bounds to work with individuals from different educational and cultural backgrounds.
