2025 IMechE DESIGN & MAKE CHALLENGE

Towards the end of each season, the IMechE Iberia branch will look to award different prizes in the Design and Make Challenge for the F24 and F24+ categories.

These awards are  available for teams participating  both with  the F24 initiation kits or with their own scratch build designs.  What we are looking  for are teams to show how they analyse and prioritise areas  for improvement in their car designs, followed by the manner in which  they develop and value these different designs, prior to  manufacturing their chosen design and then evaluating the extent to which  the  final product fulfils the improvement objective.

At the same time, we are looking for teams to show their ability to  prepare a cocise technical document, for which  in addition to the  submission being written in English, each of the sections indicated  below will have a specified maximum word/character count.

For this season, the report submission will be broken down to the following sections:

1. Component Description
   Character limit- 800
   Points- 10

2. Definition of Improvement Requirement
   Character limit- 1600
   Points- 20

3. Definition and Analysis of Solution Proposals (opcional)
   Character limit- 1600
   Points- 20

4. Improvement Selection Process (opcional)
   Character limit- 1600
   Points- 10

5. Improvement Component Manufacturing Process
   Character limit- 2000
   Points- 30

6. Improvement Evaluation
   Character limit- 800
   Points- 10

Once the 2025 IMechE DESIGN AND MAKE CHALLENGE form has been completed and submitted, a "2025 DESIGN AND MAKE" folder will be created in the team's Drive folder so that images of drawings and components can be loaded in order to be evaluated with the text.

The submission deadline for the 2025 IMechE DESIGN AND MAKE CHALLENGE form is the 3rd of October, with awards (financial prizes for winners in F24 and F24+ categories and certificates for all participants) being presented at the Navarra finals.
