ASME Introduces Innovative Design Simulation Challenge

ASME Introduces Innovative plan Simulation Challenge ASME Introduces Innovative Design Simulation Challenge ASME Introduces Innovative Design Simulation Challenge ASME is now accepting entries for a new competition, the ASME Innovative Design Simulation Challenge (IDSC). This is the second competition event for undergraduate students that the Society has launched for 2014, following the new ASME Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D (IAM3D) Challenge that was announced last month. (Read more about the IAM3D Challenge here.)The ASME Innovative Design Simulation Challenge has been designed to give mechanical engineering and multi-disciplinary undergraduate students throughout the world an opportunity to showcase their skills in developing and deploying simulations or simulation frameworks and environments. These simulations should enable the prediction of models capturing systemic or service behavior for the needs of product or service design, maintenance, qualification or certif ication in all areas of engineering innovation. The IDSC is intended to allow students to showcase their knowledge and creativity while addressing a broad spectrum of academic, industrial, manufacturing and humanitarian challenges.The top 12 entries, as selected by a reviewing committee, will be invited to present their simulations and simulation environments to a panel of judges at the ASME 2014 International Design Engineering Technical Conference and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE) this August in Buffalo, N.Y., where the winners will be announced. Two $2,000 prizes will be awarded in each of the IDSCs three categories custom, open and commercial simulations. Other prizes include $1,000 honoraria and complimentary five-year ASME memberships for selected team faculty member advisors, and travel subsidies for semi-finalists to attend the Challenge finals at the IDETC/CIE, which will take place from Aug. 17-20.Students may register, either as individua ls or in teams of up three members, until May 31. The 12 finalists will be announced by June 30. To learn more about the ASME Innovative Design Simulation Challenge, or to register, visit https//www.asme.org/events/competitions/idsc-challenge.
