Participants Needed for Design Challenge

The second round of design challenge is coming! Due to the large volume of positive feedback, the System Integration and Design Informatics (SiDi) Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering decided to conduct another round of the design challenge on Solarized Energy-Plus Home Design. Similar to the mechanism in the first-round challenge, you can get rewards by participation and you can get bonus rewards based on the quality of your final design. A minimum earning of $15 is guaranteed if you finish the complete session of the design challenge.

Multiple dates and times are available and you can make a selection on the registration page. The upcoming three sessions will be held on from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, Nov. 30, and at 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 1, at the Mechanical Engineering Building room 228. If you would like to take the challenge at a different time, just indicate your available time slots on the registration page, and the lab will run a special session just for you.

You are eligible to participate in this challenge if you are over 18 years old. No experience in design is needed. So come to design your own solarized home and get rewards! We look forward to seeing you!
