NMSU WERC Environmental Design Contest

NMSU WERC Environmental Design Contest Join the competition to find new ways to help the environment! The teams prepare four different presentations: written, oral, poster and bench-scale model.

WERC's Environmental Design Contest is a unique event that brings together industry, government and academia in the search for improved environmental solutions. Held annually since 1991 at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the contest draws hundreds of college students from throughout the United States and around the world. The student teams design solutions for real-world pro

blems while developing fully operational bench-scale solutions that are presented to panels of judges comprised of environmental professionals. Many universities use the contest as part of their capstone design courses. After the contest, WERC provides the judges' feedback to the participants. Feedback to the students has become an important part of ABET accreditation.
