Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers Foundation's Student Chapter Design Contest, 2004-2006

授予西班牙裔专业工程师协会基金会（SHPEF）的奖项是为SHPE学生分会设计竞赛提供支持，以激发本科工程专业学生的创造性智力。比赛产生了一个团队的环境，并灌输在设计项目中必不可少的合作。竞赛要求每个学生章节在年度SHPE会议上设计并在来自行业，学术界和政府的同行和专业人士面前进行正式演讲。比赛对所有学生章节开放，由该领域的专业人士评估初步设计。那些被选中继续参加全面竞争的人将获得一个工业导师和一套资源。最终的10个设计项目被选中参加SHPE年会，在那里团队进行口头陈述，前五名的团队获得认可。这项活动对学生、工程学院和工业产生了广泛的影响，因为它承认了教育经验的卓越性，承认了对加强工程多样性的贡献，促进了学生的高等教育目标，并创造了学生团队和工业之间的互动。

The award to the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers Foundation (SHPEF) is to provide support for a Design Contest for SHPE Student Chapters for the purpose of stimulating the creative intellect of the undergraduate engineering students. The competition engenders a team environment and instills cooperation essential in a design project. The competition challenges each student chapter to design and make a formal presentation before a group of peers and professionals from industry, academia and government at the Annual SHPE conference. The competition is open to all student chapters, with preliminary designs evaluated by professionals in the field. Those selected to continue participation in the full competition are provided an industrial mentor and a resource package. Ten of the final design projects are selected to attend the SHPE Annual Meeting, where the teams make oral presentations and the top five teams receive recognition. This activity has a broad impact upon the students, the colleges of engineering, and industry by recognizing excellence in educational experiences, by recognizing contributions to strengthening diversity in engineering, by advancing higher educational goals for the students, and by creating the interaction between the student teams and industry
