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

该奖项授予西班牙裔专业工程师协会基金会（SHPEF），旨在为SHPE学生分会的设计竞赛提供支持，以激发本科工程专业学生的创造性智力。比赛创造了一个团队环境，并灌输了设计项目中必不可少的合作精神。比赛要求每个学生分会在年度SHPE会议上向来自工业界、学术界和政府的同行和专业人士进行正式的设计和演示。竞赛向所有学生分会开放，初步设计由该领域的专业人士进行评估。那些被选中继续参加全面竞争的人将获得一名工业导师和一套资源。最终选出10个设计项目参加SHPE年会，团队进行口头陈述，前5名团队获得表彰。这项活动对学生、工程学院和工业产生了广泛的影响，因为它认可了优秀的教育经验，认可了对加强工程多样性的贡献，为学生推进了更高的教育目标，并在学生团队和工业之间建立了互动

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
