WERC's Environmental
Design Contest is a unique event that brings
together industry, government and academia
in the search for improved environmental
solutions. Held annually since 1991 at New
Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New
Mexico, the contest draws hundreds of
college students from throughout the United
States and around the world. You may
enter as many
teams as your university would like in any
of the tasks.
The student teams design
solutions for real-world problems while
developing fully operational bench-scale
solutions that are presented to panels of
judges comprised of environmental
professionals. The teams prepare four
different presentations: written, oral,
poster and bench-scale model.
Many universities use the
contest as part of their capstone design
courses. After the contest, WERC
provides the judges' feedback to the
participants. Feedback to the students
has become an important part of ABET
accreditation.
The Design Contest
is now part of Facebook - Join as a fan and
