This grant provides funds to support an annual engineering design contest to be held in conjunction with the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) National Conference. All members of SHPE student chapters will be eligible. Students will work in teams of two to six to provide the design of a commercially marketable product that is a benefit to mankind and improves quality of life. The design shall not be a duplicate of an existing product, but may be an enhancement of an existing product. Ten finalists will represent their student chapters in a formal presentation run-off, and a winner will be selected by a panel of four to six judges.It is expected that this activity will help to attract Hispanic students into engineering and to improve their retention rates. It also will provide an interesting and useful experience to those who participate.

这项赠款提供了资金，以支持与西班牙裔专业工程师协会（SHPE）全国会议一起举行的年度工程设计竞赛。 SHPE学生章节的所有成员都将符合资格。 学生将在两到六人组成的团队中工作，为商业上销售的产品设计，这是对人类的好处并改善生活质量的好处。 该设计不应该是现有产品的重复，但可能是现有产品的增强。 十名决赛入围者将代表他们的学生分会在正式的演讲中，由四到六名法官组成的小组选出冠军。预计这项活动将有助于吸引西班牙裔学生进入工程学并提高其保留率。 它也将为参加者提供有趣且有用的经验。
