GT Engineering Design Challenge

Each member of the winning team in the Fall 2007 GT Engineering Challenge won a new ipod nano!

Twice during the academic year, the Engineering Education
Outreach offi ce in the College of Engineering
hosts the GT Engineering Design Challenge, which is
designed to give high school students the opportunity
to use mathematics, science, technology, and engineering
skills they have learned to solve real-world engineering
situations.

Students work in teams where they
learn to use skills similar to those used by engineering
team members, including:

• Creative thinking;
• Cooperative teamwork;
• Higher order thinking skills;
• Application of knowledge; and
• Effective communication.

The goal is to expose high school students to engineering
hands-on experiences, promote a deeper
understanding of the different engineering disciplines,
and alleviate the “undecided engineering” from the
students’ mind and help them make sound decisions
about majoring in engineering.
