To secure America’s global competitiveness, HoustonWorks USA and Schlumberger are sponsoring the city-wide Engineering Excellence (E2) Competition. E2 will inspire excellence, confidence and curiosity in students and encourage them to create and explore a vision of future technology by combining their imaginations with the tools of science. The E2 Competition will provide students with the foundation for success in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. The competition will require students to use research, presentation and computer skills, practical math and science applications and problem solving skills.
Participants are assigned topics and judged on the merit of their E2 submissions, which include a brief essay, display board and 3-D model of their project.
