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.
ASME Student Design Competitions are held at ASME’s global E-Fests (Engineering Festivals).
To participate in the Student Design Competition, teams must register in advance through the respective E-Fest regional website. Registration will be available soon.
