The Faculty of Engineering and Design is encouraging all Carleton engineering and industrial design students to enter the 2016 James Dyson Award Competition. Running since 2004, the international competition spans 22 countries and challenges the brightest young engineers and designers from around the world to think differently.
This award celebrates ingenuity, creativity and sustainable engineering. Entrants are encouraged to do more with less, designing with the environment in mind. Entries must serve a significant and practical purpose and have the potential to be commercially viable.
Submissions must demonstrate the iterative design process and are recommended to include sketches, images of models, prototypes and videos. Rough or ready prototypes are also recommended, either designed from a university project or designed in the entrant’s own time.
Engineering Brief: Design something that solves a problem
The competition is open to current engineering and industrial design students, as well as graduates within the past 4 years. Teams are also encouraged to enter.
Registration | Competition closes July 19, 2016.
