Young Engineers Challenge
Background/Rules:
Form a team of up to 4 individuals and pick a component of your choice. Working with a mentor supplied by SAMPE Europe, show how you would improve the component’s present sustainability by proposing a route to reduce its environmental impact. Sustainability improvements can be in any area, and examples could include areas of reducing waste or embodied energy; improving design for disassembly; light weighting; reducing operations and maintenance; or extending the service life.
Entries will consist of a 2-minute video outlining your proposal.
The best teams will be selected to go forward.
In the second round selected teams will be offered an impartial, industrial mentor to help prepare their presentation for the final event.
Final judging will take place on Wednesday 5th March 2025 in the Open Stage during the SAMPE Technical Sessions at JEC World 2025 Paris-Nord Villepinte.
