The contest focuses on workforce development and is modeled after the engineering RFP. Students work on real-world tasks designed by our partners in industry and government. Teams build a working bench-scale apparatus, develop written and oral presentation skills, hone their teamwork skills, and discuss their designs with professional engineers.
2024 Tasks:
Students participating in the last 33 years of the contest have gone on to work at the EPA, become university professors, manage engineering firms and government agencies, and much more. Their memories of the WERC Environmental Design Contest bring them back as consultants, judges, and sponsors.
