No help will be provided by SkillsUSA State Skills: A team consisting of 3 students, all enrolled in the same educational institution during the current year. Students may be members of only one team per contest year. The project must be designed and constructed by students who are (or were enrolled immediately preceding the NLSC) enrolled in an engineering program (see definition in the eligibility section). Each team will have one storyboard explaining the new innovation they collabora- tively worked on. Each storyboard may be smaller than, but may not exceed a maximum of 4’ x 4’. The live model must be an accurate reflection of what is being claimed in the oral presentation. Importance is placed on the oral presentation that lasts no longer than ten minutes. Following the oral presentation, there will be a possible ten-minute question and answer session by the judging panel to clarify any questions that arise during the presentation. High school and college/post-secondary educational institutions are eligible to participate. Leadership from the team’s career and technical instructor, academic teachers and business/industry is highly encouraged. The panel of judges will consist of engineers, engineering educators and members from business and industry. Purpose: To recognize an outstanding engineering innovation project which has been developed by a three-member team of engineering students. The stu- dent team will present their innovative idea along with a display and live model. Judging Criteria: Each engineering presentation will be judged according to its own merits and compliance with the listed criteria. Participants should read the guidelines carefully and make sure the project presentation covers all the criteria. 1. Live model – The live model is a working model that demonstrates the results of the teams’ research and how the team has put their research into action (i.e. a newly designed air-intake system for a high mileage vehicle). The live model must accurately reflect the engineering design accomplishment referred to in the presentation. If judges wish, they will be able to inspect the model at the conclusion of the presentation.
