What is NEDC?
The National Engineering Design Competition (NEDC) is a nationwide competition between MESA States. Two teams from each state, one high school and one middle school, will advance to the NEDC.
For nationals, teams must use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) in a community-centered capacity for their project.
2025 Nationals will be held in San Diego, CA.

Note for Demo Day, we will be provided a separate rubric that will go over what we are expecting for that point of the year.
For MESA Day, we will use the National rubrics.

How to submit your annual project this year
How to submit your annual project this year
Create a design proposal using this template.
Pre-record a technical pitch via a recorded zoom meeting. Recordings should take place in a quiet space and should be a live pitch, so no video post production, etc.
Compile items for submission. Make a copy of this slide deck and customize it for the team’s project. This mirrors the submission process for the national competition so it is good practice for our teams competing for state.
Email slide deck to ormesa@pdx.edu by Monday, 12th, at 8am.
Submit Nationals Commitment form by Monday, May 12 at 8am
Create a poster using this template. Bring poster and device to MESA Day on Friday, May 16, 2025.
