This grant provides for general support towards the organization and expansion of JETS National Engineering Design Challenge (NEDC) through the partnering with the Disney Discover Magazine Awards for Technological Innovation. NEDC is a national program, which provides an actual engineering design activity for high school students working in teams. The national winner will be participating in the highly visible Discover Awards ceremony in late June with a full-page ad on NEDC and JETS appearing in the July issue of Discover Magazine.If successful, the added visibility will increase the awareness of NEDC among its core constituents and help in the recruitment of teachers, students and engineering mentors who will participate in the program in the 2000-2001 school year. This will help address the goals of NEDC which are to increase interest in engineering among the high school student population, increase student ability to apply scientific and mathematical concepts to real problems, give students first hand knowledge about engineering through the link with the engineering advisor, and promote interest in engineering to the general public

该赠款通过与迪士尼发现杂志技术创新奖合作，为JETS国家工程设计挑战赛（NEDC）的组织和扩展提供一般支持。 NEDC是一个全国性的项目，它为高中生提供了一个实际的工程设计活动。 全国赢家将参加6月下旬举行的引人注目的Discover Awards颁奖典礼，并在7月号的Discover杂志上刊登一个关于NEDC和JETS的整版广告。如果获奖，增加的知名度将提高NEDC在其核心成员中的知名度，并有助于招聘教师、学生和工程导师，他们将在2000-2001学年参加该计划。 这将有助于实现NEDC的目标，即提高高中学生对工程的兴趣，提高学生将科学和数学概念应用于真实的问题的能力，通过与工程顾问的联系为学生提供有关工程的第一手知识，并提高公众对工程的兴趣
