  8. Mission Statement The program is designed to stimulate interest and excitement among area students with an interest in architectural, engineering and science-related fields. This is done by allowing students to learn from a professional work environment, rather than an academic one. It gives the students the opportunity to participate in a “real-world” project facilitated by professionals who are employed in the field. The competition process is designed to provide the students with an experience in how professionals define the scope of a problem, work through & finally present their solutions on engineering projects utilizing teams of people with different talents.
