The purpose of the AGCO National Student Design Competition is to encourage undergraduate students to participate in the basic design of an engineering project useful to agriculture and related areas and to provide an arena of professionalism in which the student can experience peer recognition of a well conceived and executed design project. Contestants must be Student Members of ASABE and undergraduates at the time their design projects are conducted. Candidates will be declared ineligible for the competition if more than twelve (12) months have lapsed between the awarding of the degree and the ASABE Annual International Meeting at which the winner of the competition will be decided. The design projects must include: (1) A written report, (2) Drawings and/or specifications that describe the design, (3) Extensive or substantial test or performance data obtained from (A) a prototype or physical model of the machine or critical component, and/or (B) a computer simulated test of the system or process.
