Innovation Contest

Innovation Contest

Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger. In the pilot Innovation Contest, ensembles will develop solutions in selected civil engineering topics inspired by National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges. All ensembles will present their solution on a poster, and finalist ensembles will pitch their solution to the “sharks.”
