There will be four separate engineering design competitions at the USNA this year: paper airplane, bridge, electric boat and mousetrap car. Schedules are given below for your convenience in planning your activities. Please be sure to be prompt and follow all of the competition rules as well as the instructions provided by the judges and midshipmen assistants. All judges' decisions are final.

NOTE: The four competitions have various starting and ending times, with many portions running simultaneously. There will be ample opportunity for each team to participate in each event. Be sure to perform your bridge weigh-in and testing as soon as your schedule allows.

Be sure to visit the static displays and demonstration tables located on the Lab Deck, representing a variety of engineering disciplines. Refreshments will be available outside of Rickover 102 throughout the competitions. The guest speaker at the Awards Ceremony will be the Director of the USNA Division of Engineering and Weapons, CAPT Rau (USN).
