Congratulations to the top three teams of the 2023 SAME Undergraduate Innovation Design Challenge. This competition, led by the College Outreach COI, evaluated design projects developed by student members as part of their degree curriculums to highlight the innovative thinking of the next generation of STEM professionals.
The intent is to showcase existing work already underway to advance engineering and related subjects and present it to SAME industry and government members. Submissions were evaluated on how well they convey the purpose of the project and its technical merit. Teams of three to five students were required to concisely communicate their design process and demonstrate that they have used sound analysis throughout, and do so in a way that is easily understandable to technical and non-technical audiences.
Judging was completed by a panel of members from industry, government, and the College Outreach COI. Watch the top three presentations below, and congratulations again to all the winning teams.
First Place
Assistive Shoulder Device, The Citadel: The Military College of South Carolina
Second Place
Floating Farm for Hydroponic Crop Cultivation in Small Island Developing States, The University of Virginia
Third Place
CREPES – CubeSat, The University of Hawaii At Manoa
