Announcement of Massachusetts's Participation in the Real World Design Challenge

The Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) is an annual event that provides high school students, grades 9 – 12, the opportunity to work on real world engineering challenges in a collaborative environment.  Each year, student teams will be asked to address a challenge that confronts one of our nation’s leading industries.  Students will utilize professional computer-aided design software to develop their solutions and will also generate presentations that convincingly demonstrate the value of their solutions.  The RWDC provides students with opportunities to apply the lessons of the classroom to the technical problems that are being faced in the workplace.  This year’s Challenge addresses the impact of aviation design on fuel consumption.
