This grant provides funds to support an annual engineering design contest to be held in conjunction with the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) National Conference. All members of SHPE student chapters will be eligible. Students will work in teams of two to six to provide the design and a prototype of a commercially marketable product that is a benefit to mankind and improves quality of life. The design shall not be a duplicate of an existing product, but may be an enhancement of an existing product. About ten finalists will represent their student chapters in a formal presentation run-off, and a winner will be selected by a panel of four to six judges. The selected students will be funded to travel to and attend the National Conference, where the final competition will be held. It is expected that this activity will help to attract Hispanic students into engineering and to improve their retention rates. It also will provide an interesting and useful experience to those who participate.

这笔赠款用于资助与西班牙裔专业工程师协会(SHPE)全国会议联合举办的年度工程设计大赛。SHPE学生分会的所有成员都将有资格。学生们将以2至6人为一组，设计并制作一种商业销售产品的原型，以造福人类并提高生活质量。该设计不应是现有产品的复制品，而可以是对现有产品的改进。大约十名决赛选手将代表他们的学生分会参加正式的决选，获胜者将由四到六名评委组成的评审团选出。入选的学生将被资助前往和参加全国会议，在那里将举行决赛。预计这项活动将有助于吸引拉美裔学生进入工程学，并提高他们的保留率。它还将为那些参与的人提供有趣和有用的体验。
