SUMMARY

Engineering competitions similar to DARPA and BAJA-SAE are available for universities outside the United States, focusing on practical applications rather than theoretical design. Notable examples include the X Prize, which is international, and the NASA energy-efficient aircraft contest, which recently included European teams. Additionally, Micromouse competitions are held globally, encompassing various engineering disciplines. These competitions provide valuable hands-on experience for participants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of engineering principles and design processes
  • Familiarity with competition formats and requirements
  • Knowledge of international engineering competition opportunities
  • Basic project management skills for team-based competitions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the X Prize Foundation and its current competitions
  • Explore the details of the NASA energy-efficient aircraft contest
  • Investigate Micromouse competitions and their engineering challenges
  • Look into National Instruments competitions and their offerings
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, university faculty, and teams interested in practical engineering challenges and competitions on an international scale.

Engineering Competitions like DARPA??

Hi,
Does anyone know engineering competitions like DARPA, BAJA-SAE that are open to universities other than US? The competitions we are thinking to participate must have a practical exposure like building something rather than mere theoretical design.
Thanks!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org


I think national instruments make such competitions and not only in the US, www.ni.com and search for something like this.

X - Prize
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Prize_Foundation is international. The recent NASA energy efficient aircraft contest was international and won by a team from Europe.
