Event Description
Welcome to the NC State University, College of Engineering First-Year Engineering Grand Challenge Poster Competition! This event is an end-of-semester opportunity for first-year engineering student teams to showcase their research and creative solutions to help those most impacted by the world's greatest engineering challenges. These Engineering Grand Challenges have been identified by the National Academy of Engineering and are sorted into four categories: Health, Joy of Living, Security, and Sustainability.
Projects are completed as part of the E 102 - Engineering in the 21st Century course and allow students to think big and put core research concepts, universal design, and systems thinking into practice while learning how to work successfully in a team. Projects will be evaluated by course instructors, campus partners, and engineers from various industries.

Students, we're so excited to see the innovative solutions that you've developed this semester and we hope you're eager to show off your ideas to your peers, engineering industry representatives, and NC State faculty and staff!
This experience will be most valuable if you take the opportunity to engage fully in the event; attend the Welcome and Awards Ceremony, and visit as many other posters as possible.
After the Welcome, Engineering Industry Judges will visit each team booth for 5 to 10 minutes and may revisit booths towards the end of the judging time frame. As a reminder, at least one team member should be at your booth at all times and ideally all of your team members would be at your booth when the Engineering Industry Judges visit.
After all project evaluation is complete, an awards ceremony will take place where the teams who place first in each Engineering Grand Challenge Theme will be announced. All honorees will receive an NCSU prize pack.
