The mission of the National Engineers Week Future City Competition is to provide a fun and exciting educational engineering program for seventh and eighth-grade students that combines a stimulating engineering challenge with a "hands-on" application to present their vision of a city of the future.

This will be accomplished by:

  • Fostering engineering skills, such as teamwork, communication and problem solving skills;
  • Providing interaction among students, teachers, and engineer mentors;
  • Informing the community about the multi-disciplines within the engineering profession;
  • Inspiring students to explore futuristic concepts and careers in engineering.
  • The National Engineers Week Future City Competition requires:
  • Problem-solving
  • Team work
  • Research and presentation skills
  • Practical math and science applications
  • Computer skills
  • The competition employs a team-based approach. All members of the team have an important role that is necessary for the completion of the project.
