The International Finals

The 12 Finalist teams (12 members each) are tripled up to form four competing companies. Your company will prepare a new design responding to a different RFP at the NASA's Johnson Space Center Gilruth Center. Competition organizers will also invite 4 non-Finalist teams to participate with 4 members each.

The teams will work in conditions that resemble those experienced by members of high-pressure proposal teams in industry, with assistance from real working engineers and managers. Designs will be presented to an audience that includes the judges and competing teams. Presenters will answer the judges' questions about their designs. Judges will select a winning design, and provide a debriefing describing merits and weak points of the proposals.
