Skill Performance: The competition includes a technical demonstration where the knowledge, underlying theories, and applications of the chosen concept or principle in action and application will be demonstrated. Competition Guidelines: 1. Present a technical demonstration of a chosen principle of engineering or technology. Demonstrate the principle in theory and/or application and leave the judges with a clear comprehension of the subject unit or sub-unit from principles of engineering or technology. 2. Answer questions and discuss the application of the chosen principle with the judges. 3. Any technical concept may be demonstrated, provided it is related to physics, can be referenced to the course curriculum, and incorporates basic principles of applied physics. If any hazardous or caustic materials are used, competitors must bring the associated Material Safety Data Sheet(s) (MSDS) to the competitor meeting and present five (5) copies along with the five (5) copies of the discussion paper for committee review. 4. The recitation of curriculum experiments is not, in and unto itself, sufficient to meet the requirements of the competition.
